This is an excellent opportunity for a results-driven attorney with a passion for advocacy and courtroom practice to gain valuable mentorship and hands-on experience working on high-value catastrophic injury cases.

• Participate in case strategy sessions, trial preparation, and client communications under senior attorney guidance
• Attend and assist with depositions, mediations, hearings, and arbitrations (virtually and in-person as needed)
• Coordinate with experts, medical providers, and clients to support case development
• Ensure all case documentation complies with legal and firm standards

Skills & Requirements:

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school and active California Bar license
• 2+ years of litigation experience in personal injury or civil litigation preferred
• Strong legal writing and research skills
• Prior experience with depositions, mediations, or motion work is a plus
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment while collaborating with senior attorneys and litigation teams
• Client-centered approach with strong interpersonal communication
• Bilingual in Spanish is a plus

We offer an excellent compensation package including:

• Guaranteed competitive pay plan

• Paid Holidays
• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• Supplemental insurance
