Ranked a Top Law Firm to Work For | 3–5 Years’ Litigation Experience
Looking to specialize in a fascinating and high-growth area of litigation?
A nationally recognized California-based firm is hiring a driven associate to join its leading Trusts & Estates Litigation team – known for complex, high-value work and a genuinely collaborative, people-first culture.
The Opportunity
You’ll handle sensitive, cross-border disputes involving trusts, estates, fiduciaries, and high-net-worth families. You’ll gain early courtroom exposure, partner mentorship, and access to highly sophisticated work – all while building rare and in-demand litigation expertise.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Elite Training + Early Responsibility – Get on-your-feet experience in depositions, mediations, and contested hearings
- High-Caliber Work – Handle nuanced fiduciary disputes, complex family dynamics, and international estate conflicts
- Outstanding Culture – Nationally recognized for its values, mentorship, and progressive, inclusive workplace
- Hybrid Flexibility – Offices across California; open to flexible arrangements
- Comp + Benefits – Competitive salary, bonuses, full benefits, and real growth paths
- Ideally, 3–5 years’ civil litigation experience in a law firm setting
- Genuine interest in trusts & estates litigation – prior exposure is a plus
- Strong writing, oral advocacy, and client communication skills
- Collaborative, detail-oriented, and eager to develop deep subject matter expertise
