Job Description

If the phrase “Let’s take it to trial” sends a jolt of excitement through you, keep reading. This isn’t your typical litigation job—and this isn’t your typical defense firm.

One of the most respected, all-female-owned litigation firms in California is expanding its powerhouse team and looking for a skilled Civil Litigation Attorney who lives for the courtroom. Known for taking on complex, high-stakes cases that other firms won’t touch, this firm is led by a nationally recognized trial attorney who personally handles up to 15 jury trials each year—and she’s looking for someone to mentor as a potential successor.

Here’s What You’ll Do:

• Manage a diverse caseload of professional liability and general liability cases from day one
• Handle site visits and rapid-response litigation (think real-time involvement, not desk duty)
• Take and defend depositions, argue motions, and cross-examine witnesses
• Draft pleadings, motions, and briefs that actually get filed—not just edited
• Participate in strategy meetings, trial prep, and courtroom battles
  

What You Bring to the Table:

• Licensed in California (Nevada Bar is a plus)
• Significant litigation experience, including trial prep and courtroom advocacy
• Confidence, curiosity, and a passion for real trial work—not just settlements
• The desire to be mentored by a nationally acclaimed trial attorney
  

What You’ll Get:

• Salary $110,000 to $200,000
• Bonuses Paid quarterly for 170+ billable hours/month
• Benefits 100% paid health, dental, and vision after 90 days, 401(k) with match, FSA, parking, education support, and more
• Schedule Hybrid flexibility with a 160-hour monthly minimum
• Time Off Unlimited PTO as long as you’re meeting expectations
  

Why This Firm?

Based in San Diego with offices in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, this AV-rated firm isn’t a paper-pushing mill. Associates accompany partners to fatal accident sites. They argue in court. They learn by doing. And they’re backed by a leadership team that supports women, mentors fiercely, and promotes based on performance—not time served.

This is a rare chance to be front-and-center in real litigation and build a path to non-equity (or equity) partnership. If you're ready to move from the sidelines to center stage, this is your calling.

Apply now. Your trial bag is waiting.

Salary: $110,000 - $200,000
