What We Value

Our philosophy about practicing law is simple.

• Great lawyers are not defined by where they went to school or by natural talent. The most important trait is a willingness to learn and improve.
• We also believe that mistakes and setbacks are part of the growth process. The ability to reflect, adapt, and keep improving is what ultimately builds strong litigators. There are no shortcuts to becoming excellent at this craft.
• And finally, we approach relationships with the mindset that strangers are simply people we have not gotten to know yet. We look forward to building lasting professional relationships with the people who join our team.

This is afully remote role. Attorneys may work from anywhere, but anactive California law license is required.

Our attorneys are expected to meet an annual billable target ofapproximately 1,440 hours, which averages out toaround 31 billable hours per week.
