• Hybrid work setup with a collaborative, modern office

Qualifications We’re Seeking

• Licensed in California (good standing)
• 5–10 years’ construction litigation experience on the contractor side

Location and Schedule

Hybrid role with a strong preference for Los Angeles–area candidates. Weekly office presence is encouraged, but flexible arrangements are supported.

Why Work Here?
