Supervising Attorney - Litigation (Business & Construction)

With 45 years of legal excellence, STONE LLP has earned its reputation as California's leading boutique litigation firm specializing in business, construction, and real estate disputes. We're the firm that clients describe as "Major League talent with intimate service"—and we've worked hard to earn that distinction. Based in Irvine, we represent contractors, developers, business owners, property investors, and lenders statewide. Our practice encompasses construction contract disputes, mechanic's liens, shareholder disagreements, and real property title disputes. Role Description We're seeking a Supervising Attorney who can seamlessly pivot from dissecting complex construction contracts and decoding corporate governance and dissolution matters with ease—and who understands that "substantial completion" means something very different to contractors than it does to owners. This is a leadership role—meaning you'll be brilliantly wielding your legal acumen on behalf of our clients rather than bringing your own stable of them. Though if you happen to have a book of business tucked in your briefcase, we certainly won't object. We're flexible like that. Ideal Candidate You're the attorney general contractors and boards of directors call when there's a problem and the one business owners trust when partnership disputes turn ugly. You can read construction contracts as fluently as LLC operating agreements. You've litigated mechanic's liens, breach of contract claims, construction defects, shareholder disputes, judicially supervised dissolution actions and you know the difference between liquidated damages and a penalty clause (and can argue either side with equal conviction). Why Join STONE LLP The boutique advantage: Big firm expertise without the bureaucracy or the billable hour pressure that makes associates cry Diverse practice: One day you're handling construction defects, the next you're litigating a shareholder dispute Client relationships: Work with contractors who build things, developers who develop things, and business owners who run things (we appreciate clients who actually do productive work) Professional growth: We invest in our people because we're in this for the long haul Qualifications JD from an accredited law school Active California State Bar membership in good standing 8+ years of business and construction litigation experience, with significant case oversight and responsibility Demonstrated experience litigating construction contract disputes, construction defect matters, business torts, and business dissolution matters The ability to discuss the intricacies of change orders, retention, and indemnification provisions without your eyes glazing over Willingness to work onsite in our Irvine office STONE LLP is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a strong team based on merit. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds who meet the qualifications and appreciate a well-crafted legal argument. #J-18808-Ljbffr Stone LLP
