In-House Counsel (REMOTE)

In-House Counsel (Remote)

We are seeking a specialized In-House Counsel who loves the "law" side of lawyering. Unlike traditional client-facing roles, this position is focused on the firm's internal litigation needs. You will be responsible for navigating the firm through minor's compromise petitions, fee arbitrations, and representing the firm in legal disputes or lawsuits.

The ideal candidate is a "writer's lawyer" who is equally comfortable arguing a complex motion before a judge as they are drafting a meticulous brief.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and execute the firm's minor's compromise petitions from start to finish, ensuring court approval for high-value settlements.
• Represent the firm's interests in fee arbitrations and internal or external lawsuits where the firm is a party.
• Research, draft, and argue high-level motions. This role is significantly more motion and hearing-driven than client-facing.
• Collaborate with the in-house legal team to mitigate risk and provide counsel on firm-wide legal strategy.
• Appear at hearings (primarily via CourtCall/Zoom) and maintain a rigorous litigation schedule from a remote environment.

Qualifications

• Active member in good standing with the California State Bar (Required).
• 5+ years of litigation experience. Prior in-house experience at a law firm is highly preferred.
• You must genuinely enjoy the litigation process-specifically the thrill of oral advocacy and the precision of written motions.
• Exceptional writing skills with a proven track record of winning contested motions.
• Familiarity with CCP, fee dispute resolution, and the procedural nuances of California probate/civil courts regarding minor's compromises.
• Ability to manage a heavy calendar of hearings and deadlines autonomously.

Why Join This Team?

• Focus on the Craft: If you prefer the courtroom and the library to constant client intake and case management, this is your ideal role.
• Elite Support: Work as part of a sophisticated in-house team within one of California's most successful personal injury practices.
• Flexibility: A rare opportunity to handle high-level litigation and "heavy lifting" motion work in a 100% remote capacity.

Compensation: Competitive salary and benefits package commensurate with litigation experience ($125-175k salary).

Please submit your resume along with a recent writing sample (e.g., a noticed motion or trial brief) that showcases your persuasive writing abilities.

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Employer paid health, dental, vision
• 401k
• Flexible PTO
• Work remotely
