Job Description

Growing law firm in Irvine is seeking a full-time Associate Attorney with 3-7 years of litigation experience to join our litigation practice.

This role offers the opportunity to work closely with seasoned trial attorneys on significant litigation from early case strategy through trial preparation. In our lean, high-performing environment, associates are expected to think strategically, write persuasively, and take ownership of substantive work that directly impacts case outcomes.

We offer the caliber and trial strength of a larger firm with the focus, agility, and personal investment of a boutique litigation practice. Our attorneys defend complex cases across the country, including product liability, automobiles, consumer goods, industrial products, mass and toxic tort, employment litigation, business torts, and commercial litigation. We prepare every case to be defended through verdict and appeal, and we are intentional about building a team of exceptional lawyers who value rigor, responsiveness, and excellence.

Experience in consumer litigation, products liability, or employment law is especially valuable. Trial experience is strongly preferred.

What You'll Do

You will play a hands-on role in all phases of litigation, including:

  • Legal research and factual investigation
  • Drafting legal memoranda, pleadings, and motions
  • Coordinating with expert witnesses and consultants
  • Drafting offensive discovery and responding to defensive discovery
  • Taking and preparing for depositions
  • Managing document review and production
  • Preparing cases for trial and participating in trial work
Qualifications

What We're Looking For

Our ideal candidate brings:

  • 3-7 years of litigation experience
  • Strong research, writing, and analytical skills
  • Excellent organization and judgment with the ability to prioritize effectively
  • Initiative, strong communication skills, and the ability to excel in a demanding, fast-paced practice
  • A clear commitment to building a long-term career in sophisticated, trial-focused litigation

Experience in consumer litigation, products liability, or employment law is especially valuable. Trial experience is strongly preferred.
