Job Description
Our client, a leading California mid-size law firm is seeking a Senior Commercial Litigation Associate with 6–8 years of experience to join its growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who wants BigLaw-level matters without the BigLaw lifestyle . You'll work on high-stakes commercial disputes for sophisticated clients, take ownership of matters, handle substantive court appearances and depositions, and have a clear path toward first-chair trial opportunities and a lead attorney role within 2–3 years .
Why This Opportunity?
- $225K–$275K base salary + substantial hourly bonus potential
- 1,600-hour billable target — significantly more sustainable than many California firms
- Meaningful trial and courtroom exposure
- Increasing autonomy and a defined path toward lead attorney responsibilities
- Origination credit for business you bring in
- Hybrid schedule in San Francisco's Financial District
- 100% firm-paid benefits with no payroll deductions
- Collaborative, non-hierarchical culture with no formal up-or-out track
What We're Looking For
- 6–8 years of commercial litigation experience at a reputable firm
- Active California Bar license
- JD from an ABA-accredited law school
- Strong motion practice and hearing experience
- Experience managing complex discovery and taking/defending depositions
- Genuine interest in developing into a lead trial attorney
If you're ready to take on sophisticated litigation while gaining the autonomy, lifestyle, and career trajectory that BigLaw often can't provide, we'd love to hear from you.
