Job Details
We seek a motivated Junior Associate Attorney with 1-3 years of experience (any litigation background welcome—no tenant law required) to join our tenant rights practice.
You'll focus on cases involving unlawful retention of security deposits, unsubstantiated deductions, excessive late fees, and related landlord violations under California law. This includes individual and class action matters.
Key Responsibilities:
Manage a caseload from intake through resolution: client interviews, demand letters, pleadings, discovery, motions, settlements, and trials.
Conduct legal research, draft briefs/motions, and prepare for depositions/hearings.
Collaborate on strategy for high-stakes class actions.
Build client relationships with empathy and clear communication.
Ideal Candidate:
Active California Bar membership.
1-3 years of civil litigation experience (plaintiff-side a plus, but not required).
Strong work ethic, initiative, and "go-getter" attitude—self-starter who thrives on responsibility.
Outstanding personality: Positive, team-oriented, high-energy, and resilient under pressure.
Excellent writing, research, and oral advocacy skills.
Passion for consumer/tenant advocacy a huge bonus.
We prioritize cultural fit—personality and drive are key! Training provided on tenant-specific law.
