Complex Litigation Associate

$165k - $210k

Larson Maddox

Complex Litigation Attorney | Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Diego (Hybrid)

Take the next step in your career now, scroll down to read the full role description and make your application.

My client, a prestigious AmLaw 100 law firm, is seeking a Litigation Associate, to join its highly regarded California litigation team. This opportunity is ideal for attorneys currently at regional or boutique firms who are looking to elevate their practice on a larger national platform while gaining access to sophisticated matters, premier clients, and substantial long-term career opportunities.

With more than 1,400 attorneys across 46 offices nationwide, my client offers the resources, infrastructure, and national reputation of a top-tier law firm while maintaining a collaborative and supportive culture that invests heavily in attorney development.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Prestigious AmLaw 100 Platform with nationally recognized litigation practices and blue-chip clients.
  • Clear Path to Partnership with structured mentorship, business development support, and resources designed to help attorneys build successful long-term careers.
  • Transparent Compensation Model featuring clearly defined compensation bands, eliminating uncertainty around annual compensation progression.
  • Exceptional Career Mobility with a strong track record of attorneys moving into in-house counsel positions with the firm's impressive roster of national clients.
  • Sophisticated Litigation Work handling complex auto, transportation, catastrophic injury, and general liability matters.
  • Hybrid Flexibility with offices in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego.
  • Collaborative Culture where attorneys gain meaningful responsibility, direct client contact, and hands-on litigation experience from day one.

Qualifications

  • JD from an ABA-accredited law school
  • Licensed and in good standing in California
  • 3-8 years of civil defense litigation experience
  • Strong writing, communication, and client-management skills
  • Ability to independently manage a litigation caseload

Compensation

Base Salary: $165,000 - $210,000+ depending on experience, plus bonus potential and a comprehensive benefits package. xhyhwjd

For attorneys seeking the sophistication and resources of a premier national platform, a clearly defined growth trajectory, and the opportunity to position themselves for either partnership or future in-house opportunities, this is an outstanding career move.
