California Associate Attorney

$130k - $250k

Strategic Legal Practices

Job Description

Job Description

We are a Los Angeles-based litigation firm focused on consumer rights advocacy and civil litigation under California law. Our practice is built on strategic case work, a collaborative team structure, and a genuine commitment to developing attorneys over the course of their careers.

Position Overview

We are seeking Associate Attorneys at varying levels of experience to join our litigation team in Los Angeles. Team placement and case responsibilities are structured according to each attorney's background, with defined paths for those early in their litigation careers as well as those with substantial trial and motions experience. We view this role not as a fixed position, but as a long-term career track within the firm.

Responsibilities for Attorneys Earlier in Their Careers

  • Appear in California state court for hearings, trial calls, and final status conferences under the supervision of senior attorneys
  • Draft and respond to discovery requests, and review opposing parties' submissions
  • Assist in preparing motions and supporting trial preparation
  • Work directly with senior attorneys to build litigation skills across discovery, motions practice, and courtroom appearances

Responsibilities for Attorneys with Established Litigation Experience

  • Independently prepare, draft, and argue substantive motions, including motions to compel and dispositive motions
  • Take primary responsibility for case strategy and trial preparation on assigned matters
  • Represent clients in hearings and trial calls with a high degree of autonomy
  • Mentor and supervise junior attorneys, with opportunities to take on greater case management responsibility over time

Career Development

This role is structured to support long-term professional growth. Junior attorneys receive close mentorship from experienced trial counsel and are given increasing responsibility as their skills develop. Senior attorneys are given ownership over case strategy and the opportunity to build supervisory and leadership experience within the firm. Our goal is for attorneys at every level to develop a broad and durable litigation skill set — spanning discovery, motions practice, and trial work — that supports advancement within the firm over time.

Requirements

  • Licensed to practice law in California (admission to the CA Bar required).
  • Role can be remote with active CA Bar
  • 1-5 years of legal experience, including relevant internships, clerkships, or law school clinics.
  • Strong legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills.

Compensation

  • Salary range: $130,000–$250,000 annually (DOE)
  • Billing bonus of up to $20,000- straightforward to earn

Benefits

We’re committed to supporting the well-being and success of our team through a robust and thoughtfully designed benefits package, including:

  • 401(k) with Employer Match – Plan for your future with confidence and company support.
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance – Comprehensive coverage to keep you and your family healthy.
  • Short-Term, Long-Term Disability & Life Insurance – Financial protection for life’s unexpected events.
  • Paid Parking – Convenient and covered, so you can focus on your day.
  • Generous Paid Time Off – Ample time to rest, recharge, and take care of personal matters.
  • Employee Referral Program – Earn rewards for introducing talented individuals to our team.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) – Confidential resources for personal and professional support.
  • Employee Discount Program – Access to exclusive savings on a variety of products and services.
