Attorneys are trusted to independently manage their caseloads while receiving support from an experienced litigation staff. Success is measured by the quality of your work, responsiveness, meeting deadlines, and contributing to successful outcomes—not by billable hours.

• Appear regularly before California Superior Courts.
• Serve as first or second chair during trial, depending on experience.

 

Ideal Background

• Approximately 3-10 years of litigation experience.
• Plaintiff's personal injury experience preferred.
• Defense personal injury attorneys are encouraged to apply.
• Solo practitioners with strong litigation backgrounds are welcome.
• Strong deposition and motion practice experience.
• Trial experience or meaningful second-chair experience.
• California Bar admission in good standing.

 

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary of $150,000-$190,000, depending on experience.
• Merit bonus tied to successful case fees.
• Origination compensation.
• Settlement bonus opportunities.
• 100% employer-paid medical insurance for employees and dependents.
• Dental and vision coverage.
• 401(k) with employer match.
