A bit about us:

We are partnering with a growing national civil defense law firm seeking a California-licensed Associate Attorney with approximately 4+ years of experience to join its expanding litigation team.

This is a strong opportunity for an attorney with insurance defense or civil litigation experience who wants to continue building depth within a sophisticated defense practice while working alongside experienced litigators in a collaborative, fully remote environment.

  • Strong mentorship and development environment
  • Nationally growing litigation platform with long-term advancement potential
  • Supportive culture emphasizing sustainability and collaboration
  • Modern infrastructure built for remote legal practice
Job Details

Responsibilities:
  • Support senior attorneys and partners in managing complex civil defense matters
  • Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and litigation-related correspondence
  • Assist with deposition preparation, hearings, and motion practice
  • Conduct legal research and develop litigation strategy recommendations
  • Participate in case management and support matters through resolution
  • Communicate with clients, carriers, experts, and opposing counsel as needed
Qualifications:
  • Active California Bar license required
  • Approximately 4+ years of civil litigation/insurance defense experience
  • Strong legal writing and drafting skills
  • Experience with discovery, motion practice, and litigation support
  • Comfortable working in a collaborative, remote environment
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational and communication skills
