Associate Attorney - Personal Injury

Job Description

Job Description

Our client is a small, growing personal injury firm in Beverly Hills. They fight to help injured people rebuild their lives - and we invest the same way in the attorneys who help us do it. This is not a paperwork mill. You will own your caseload from intake through pre-litigation and into litigation, work directly with our Founding Attorney, and - if you want it - get the chance to take cases to trial. For the right person who proves to be a strong long-term fit, there is a real path to partnership.

Why you'll want this job

• Real ownership - your own caseload from intake through pre-litigation and into litigation, not busywork.

• Direct mentorship - you'll work closely with our Founding Attorney, who reviews every case (and every application) personally.

• Courtroom opportunity - trial work is there if you want it, as second or first chair. No prior trial experience required.

• Partnership track - prove yourself and there's a genuine path to ownership.

What you'll do

• Own a caseload of personal injury matters - auto accidents, slip-and-fall, premises liability, dog bites, and wrongful death - from intake and demand negotiations through settlement, with some cases moving into litigation.

• Evaluate claims, build case value, draft demand packages, and negotiate strong settlements with insurers and defense counsel; pursue policy-limits results and oversee lien negotiations.

• Independently take and defend depositions of parties, witnesses, and experts, and handle the rest of the litigation cycle when cases don't settle - pleadings, written discovery, and law and motion.

• Take cases to trial if you want the experience (optional) - second or first chair, from motions in limine and jury selection through opening, closing, and witness examination.

• Keep clients informed, track statutes of limitation, mentor case staff, and help improve how the firm runs as we grow.

What you need

• Active California Bar license, in good standing.

• At least 2 year of personal injury experience, across pre-litigation and litigation.

• Deposition Experience: Must have independently handled at least 6 depositions .

• The ability to independently take and defend depositions with at least 1 year experience.

• Looking for a high-performing, proactive attorney who takes ownership.

• Strong negotiation, advocacy, and legal-writing skills.

• If the firm decides to proceed after the interview, the candidate will need to provide at least 3 recent professional references .

  Bonus points (not required)

• Litigation: 3 years (Required)

• Language: Spanish (Preferred)

• Filevine or similar case-management software.

• Motion-practice experience, or an interest in building trial skills.

What we offer

• $180,000-$230,000 per year, (depending on experience)

• Performance-based bonus

• Potential partnership track

• Paid time off

• Paid parking

• Training & development and tuition assistance

• Opportunity for advancement

• People with a criminal record are encouraged to apply

• Every application is reviewed personally by our Founding Attorney - All applications are kept strictly confidential.

• Hybrid/Remote (3 days in office)
