A bit about us:

A highly regarded Orange County defense firm is seeking a sharp, driven Litigation Associate Attorney to join its cohesive and growing team. This is an exceptional opportunity for either an experienced litigator/trial attorney or an associate who is eager to sharpen their skills, take on meaningful responsibility, and learn from respected defense attorneys.

The firm’s practice is concentrated in complex, high-exposure catastrophic personal injury defense matters for sophisticated corporate clients, including companies with substantial self-insured retentions and deductibles. Attorneys are trusted to think strategically, manage their matters with autonomy, and produce exceptional work product while collaborating closely with a supportive team.

This is a key long-term hire with significant room for professional and financial growth. The firm is prepared to offer above-market compensation for the right attorney who brings strong litigation fundamentals, sound judgment, and a genuine desire to build a successful career in complex civil defense.

Why join us?
  • Handle sophisticated, high-exposure litigation matters from inception through resolution
  • Work alongside highly experienced trial attorneys with strong mentorship opportunities
  • Exposure to complex business, construction, and tort litigation
  • Opportunity to take meaningful ownership of cases and client relationships
  • Collaborative firm culture with direct attorney access and support
  • Flexible work environment offering hybrid, remote, or in-office opportunities for the right candidate
  • Strong litigation platform with real courtroom and trial exposure
  • Competitive compensation, bonus potential, and long-term growth opportunities

What You’ll Do:

• Handle sophisticated civil litigation matters from early case strategy through resolution or trial
• Manage discovery, depositions, motion practice, client communications, and case deadlines
• Develop thoughtful litigation strategies and analyze complex legal and factual issues
• Work directly with experienced attorneys and high-level corporate clients
• Contribute to a collaborative, collegial office culture where quality work and initiative are recognized

Qualifications:

• 1–7+ years of civil litigation experience
• Experience independently handling core aspects of a case, including discovery, strategy, client communication, and motion practice preferred
• Strong legal research, writing, negotiation, and advocacy skills
• Highly detail-oriented with the ability to identify issues others may miss
• Self-motivated, strategic, and comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy
• Collaborative mindset and commitment to producing excellent work product
• Active California Bar license in good standing

Compensation & Benefits:

Salary range: $150,000–$250,000 annually, plus discretionary bonus potential. Compensation will depend on experience, litigation background, demonstrated capabilities, and overall fit. The firm is willing to pay elevated, above-market rates for the right long-term candidate.

  • Medical insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Flexible time off
  • Phone stipend
