Senior Associate Defense Attorney

Munzinger Law PC

Munzinger Law is a high-end civil litigation boutique in San Rafael, founded in 2025 by Richard F. The practice has genuine trial depth: 40+ trials and arbitrations to completion over 25 years, a recent $90 million arbitration award, a $1 billion defense verdict for the State of California, a forced corporate sale of $20 million company in Delaware Court of Chancery, and an $18 million fraud and elder abuse settlement. Active matters include a $250 million trust litigation, a $150 million corporate usurpation case, and entity dissolutions involving companies worth approximately $1 billion.

Core practice areas: business divorce and co-owner disputes, fiduciary litigation, shareholder and partnership litigation, trust and estate litigation, fraud and misrepresentation, venture capital and private equity disputes, and wine industry litigation.

Our model is intentionally lean, trial-focused, and the payment structure aligns attorneys with the firm by offering a direct share of the profits from the outset. Attorneys who help build the practice share in the practice they help build. The economic structure is designed to reward the attorneys who do the work.

California and federal experience and class action experience would be a bonus, not required

  • California licensed senior associate; want hands-on litigation work and the autonomy to run their own matters
  • have substantive background in business litigation, fiduciary duty, or complex commercial Disputes
  • If this resonates, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
