Litigation Associate

We are looking for a Litigation Associate with 4+ years of broad-based litigation experience to join a dynamic, full-service California law firm where you'll get early exposure to substantive work, client relationships, and business development opportunities that larger firms simply don't offer.

What will you be doing?

• Taking and defending depositions and arguing motions
• Preparing cases for trial and chairing cases with significant autonomy
• Handling commercial litigation matters including breach of contract, tortious interference, and breach of fiduciary duty
• Developing client relationships and building your own book of business with firm support
• Collaborating with partners across practice areas including real estate, land use, trusts and estates, and IP litigation

Key Requirements

• 4+ years of broad-based litigation experience with hands-on deposition and motion practice experience
• Admission to the California Bar
• Strong academic record from a reputable law school
• Demonstrated stability — candidates with frequent job changes (under 2 years per role) will face scrutiny
• Ability to articulate substantive litigation experience (depositions, chairing cases, trial prep) — not just big firm paper-pushing
