About the role

We are looking for an associate attorney who can own a litigation caseload and move cases forward without day-to-day supervision. You will work directly with the founding attorney and alongside our case managers, paralegals, and pre-litigation team. You will be trained hands-on in our premises liability approach, where the fight is about liability rather than injuries.

Responsibilities

Manage a caseload of plaintiff personal injury litigation matters on your own, from filing through resolution. Develop case strategy, with a focus on proving liability. Draft and file complaints, pleadings, motions, oppositions, and meet-and-confer letters. Handle every phase of written discovery: interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admission.

Review discovery responses for deficiencies and case strategy. Take and defend party depositions. Meet every California court rule, procedure, hearing, and deadline. Supervise paralegals and litigation staff on your cases.

Requirements

Must-Have 5 years of plaintiff-side personal injury litigation experience. Able to handle an auto accident case A to Z without supervision. Strong command of California civil procedure and discovery. Experience drafting pleadings, discovery, and motions yourself, rather than handing that work off to paralegals. Active California State Bar license.

Stable work history. Nice-to-Have Premises liability experience. It is not required, because we will train you. Arbitration and mediation experience. Not required: trial experience.
