Civil Litigation Attorney

Job Title: Civil Litigation Attorney (Junior, Mid-Level, or Senior Lateral) (Multiparty & High-Stakes Defense) Location: San Francisco, CA | Fully Remote (Anywhere in California), Hybrid, or In-Office Flexible Employment Type: Full-Time Permanent OR Contract Option Available Experience Level: 1–20 Years of Experience (Junior, Mid-Level, or Senior Lateral) Base Compensation: $135,000 – $240,000+ Commensurate with experience About Our Firm Our firm is an established, growing full-service law firm headquartered in Downtown San Francisco, specializing in high-stakes litigation and transactional law. We provide deeply personalized service to businesses, insurance companies, and individuals. While we maintain the tight-knit, collaborative culture of a specialized boutique, our bench possesses extensive expertise in complex, multiparty cases involving massive financial exposure and high‑profile public relations concerns. We routinely handle matters with regional, national, or global impact—including high‑profile litigation resolved for up to $100 million. Company culture is central to who we are, and we are deeply committed to maintaining a workplace where our team genuinely enjoys working. We strive to just be a nice place to work, free of the firm politics that can easily arise in law firms. We value operational efficiency and mutual professional respect over micromanagement, providing our attorneys with a supportive, sustainable environment to execute top‑tier work. We pride ourselves on our technology and see it as an incredibly useful asset that makes the job easier for everyone and allows our employees the ability to work remotely from anywhere. Our tech stack includes software used by larger firms, such as Coyote Analytics, iManage, and CompuLaw. The Position & The Workspace We are seeking an Attorney to handle all aspects of complex litigation matters, including multiparty and multimillion‑dollar cases. To support our team’s diverse needs, this role offers complete workplace flexibility: you may choose to work fully remote (anywhere in California), fully in the office, or in a customized hybrid model. This opening is available as either a stable, permanent position or a contract arrangement, with compensation carefully structured to match your exact level of experience. Why This Role is Different: Our Tight‑Knit Support System We know why litigation associates burn out: it’s isolation and administrative friction. We have structured our boutique firm to ensure you feel supported every single day: Dedicated Staff Support: We maintain a highly supportive ratio of legal assistants to attorneys to handle all secretarial and filing tasks so you can focus strictly on core legal analysis. Institutional Continuity: Our dedicated paralegals are assigned directly to cases, not individual attorneys. When you step into a file, you are immediately brought up to speed by a paralegal who holds the institutional history of the case, allowing you to hit the ground running with team backing. They are there to assist our attorneys at every phase of litigation. Mentorship & Accessibility: Our partners maintain a true open‑door policy. We also hold weekly scheduled meetings to drive strategy, obtain quick decisions on high‑risk files, and ensure our associates are constantly learning, growing, and feeling fully supported in their remote or local cases. Health & Wellness: Full firm‑sponsored PPO/HMO health plans with buy‑up options (Kaiser & Blue Shield of California), dental, and vision. NO EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. Financial Protection: The firm provides a fully sponsored $50,000 life insurance policy to all employees, a benefit we proudly established to ensure our team has continuous peace of mind. Retirement: We currently offer a corporate 401(k) retirement plan featuring a 3% Safe Harbor Non‑Elective contribution, funded entirely by the firm and 100% immediately vested from Day 1. Travel: The job can be 100% remote or hybrid. If you second‑chair or assist at a live trial, the firm fully covers all flight, hotel, and travel accommodations. Requirements Active member in good standing with the State Bar of California. Junior Tier: 1–3 years of civil litigation experience. Mid‑to‑Senior Tier: 3–20 years of civil litigation experience handling complex, high‑exposure matters (including habitability, landlord‑tenant disputes, construction defect, or personal injury). Our Interview Process We respect your time and your career. We do not utilize multi‑hour partner interview rounds that require repetitive, back‑and‑forth scheduling.
