A bit about us:

Founded over 60 years ago and based in Los Angeles, with offices throughout California, we are one of the state's largest and most recognized civil defense firms. Since 1965, we've built our reputation on defending physicians, hospitals, and healthcare organizations in complex, high-stakes litigation across medical malpractice, elder abuse, general liability, employment law, and products liability. We're not a generalist shop. We go deep in defense, and we've spent six decades getting very good at it. Associates here get real courtroom experience, meaningful caseloads, and the mentorship to grow into serious trial lawyers. If you want to actually try cases and build a career in defense litigation, this is the kind of firm where that happens.

  • Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, and Employee Assistance Program
  • Flexible Schedule and Flexible Spending Account
  • Generous PTO
  • Real Trial Experience: First and second chair opportunities on complex medical malpractice matters
  • Mentorship and Growth: Work alongside experienced partners with a genuine investment in associate development
  • Statewide Footprint: Multiple California offices with a well-established client base including insurance carriers, hospitals, and physician groups

Job Details
  • Manage a full caseload of complex medical malpractice defense matters from pre-suit investigation through trial and appeal

  • Draft and respond to discovery requests, pleadings, motions, and briefs
  • Develop and maintain relationships with insurance carriers, hospital clients, and physician groups
  • Mentor junior associates in deposition strategy, motion practice, and courtroom skills
  • Collaborate with partners, paralegals, and legal staff to ensure strong outcomes and a healthy team culture
Needed:

  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Active California State Bar license in good standing (required)
  • Minimum 10 years of legal experience, preferably in civil defense
  • Minimum 5 years of litigation experience, with a strong preference for medical malpractice defense
