HRKonnect is hiring on behalf of Bartko Pavia

Bartko Pavia is a premier California litigation boutique known for handling sophisticated, high-stakes disputes. Our attorneys are trial-focused from day one, taking a strategic, collaborative approach to complex litigation. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional advocacy while fostering an environment where attorneys work closely together, take ownership of meaningful work, and continue to grow as litigators. If you enjoy tackling complex legal issues and thrive in an intellectually challenging, team-oriented environment, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role
We're looking for an exceptional attorney whose greatest strength is legal writing. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on tackling novel legal issues, crafting persuasive arguments, and producing clear, thoughtful, and compelling written advocacy. We're particularly interested in attorneys with backgrounds that demonstrate outstanding writing ability, including former judicial law clerks, appellate attorneys, legal writing instructors, former journalists, or others with a proven record of exceptional legal analysis and persuasive writing. The title of Associate or Senior Counsel will be determined based on your experience, expertise, and overall qualifications.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct complex legal research using Westlaw and other legal research platforms.
  • Draft high-quality legal documents, including:
    • Memoranda
    • Demand letters
    • Briefs
    • Motions for Summary Judgment (MSJs)
    • Motions for Adjudication (MSAs)
    • Motions in Limine
    • Pretrial briefs and other litigation filings
  • Analyze case law thoroughly and independently rather than relying solely on AI-generated summaries.
  • Collaborate closely with attorneys across the litigation team to develop case strategy.
  • Manage multiple assignments while meeting aggressive litigation deadlines.
  • Incorporate feedback into written work and continuously improve legal analysis and writing.
  • Proactively communicate with team members, ask questions, and seek additional work when capacity allows.
Required  Qualifications
  • Active California Bar license in good standing.
  • 5–10 years of litigation experience.
  • Strong legal research and persuasive writing skills.
  • Experience drafting complex litigation motions and briefs.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Westlaw.
  • Excellent attention to detail and commitment to producing polished, thoughtful work.
  • Outstanding organizational and time management skills.
Preferred
  • Antitrust litigation experience.
  • Judicial clerkship or experience handling complex commercial litigation.
  • Trial preparation experience.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is:
  • An exceptional legal writer who communicates clearly, concisely, and persuasively.
  • Detail-oriented and committed to understanding the underlying law and facts.
  • Comfortable receiving constructive feedback and using it to strengthen their work.
  • Proactive, resourceful, and willing to ask questions when needed.
  • Able to balance multiple priorities while consistently producing high-quality work.
What Makes This Opportunity Unique
  • Work on a landmark antitrust case expected to establish precedent in California law.
  • Join a respected litigation boutique that approaches every matter with a trial-first mindset.
  • Collaborate with a close-knit, highly experienced legal team.
  • Gain exposure to sophisticated legal issues while playing a meaningful role in high-profile litigation.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary: $175,000–$225,000 annually
  • Merit-based annual bonus (based on individual performance and firm financial results)
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and firm holidays
