Job Description

About Our Client

Our Client is a premier California business and litigation law firm consistently recognized with U.S. News – Best Law Firms Tier 1 rankings in Construction Law and Construction Litigation, as well as inclusion in Fortune magazine's Top Ranked Law Firms.

They combine the trial strength and complex caseload of a large law firm with the agile, client-centric culture of a high-end boutique. Their construction litigation practice represents owners, general contractors, sub-contractors, and developers in high-stakes, multi-party disputes across California.

Why Join Our Client's Practice?
  • Attainable Bonus Structure: Earn discretionary bonuses up to $50,000 with a manageable billable benchmark starting at just 1,750 hours.
  • Industry-Leading Retirement Plan: The firm automatically contributes 7.5% of your compensation (no match required), plus an additional 5.7% on earnings above Social Security limits —totaling up to ~11% in retirement contributions .
  • Work-Life Integration: Enjoy a hybrid work schedule (2–3 days in downtown Sacramento) or fully remote flexibility for the right candidate.
  • Direct Professional Investment: Every attorney receives dedicated individual marketing budgets, full MCLE funding, structured mentorship, and paid downtown parking.
  • Immediate Caseload Autonomy: Step directly into key roles on active, complex construction matters with full team support.
Key Responsibilities
  • Manage complex civil and construction litigation matters throughout California from inception through resolution or trial.
  • Draft high-impact pleadings, substantive motions, legal briefs, and appellate materials.
  • Formulate and execute discovery strategies, including drafting/responding to written discovery and conducting/defending depositions.
  • Perform complex legal research and analysis on statutory, contractual, and liability issues.
  • Work collaboratively with partners, co-counsel, expert witnesses, and clients in a fast-paced environment.
Qualifications
  • Experience: Minimum 5+ years of substantive civil litigation experience handling complex, multi-party matters at a law firm.
  • Bar Admission: Active member of the California State Bar in good standing.
  • Core Competencies: Exceptional legal research, drafting, oral advocacy, and analytical skills. Must be able to hit the ground running with minimal supervision on core litigation tasks.
  • Credentials: J.D. with a strong academic record (law school transcript required).
  • Practice Specialty: Construction law or construction defect experience is desired but not required —a background in general civil or commercial litigation with strong trial-prep skills is fully transferable.

Application requirements: Resume, law school transcript, and legal writing sample.
