Litigation Attorney - Public Entity and Education Law (Hybrid)

A mid-sized education law firm with a 50-year history and a statewide practice is looking for an experienced Litigation Attorney. The firm has about 55 attorneys and represents school and community college districts across California. If you'd like to join a team that supports the education of students in California, this could be the role for you.
This is a niche and evolving area of law with little precedent, so the work is research- and writing-driven rather than template-based. The firm is collaborative and works like a larger firm in its training, mentoring, and resources, while offering better work-life balance. Attorneys coming from big firms have done especially well here.
The schedule is hybrid and flexible. There are no set office days; you come in when meetings require it.
