About the role
Description supplied by the original job listing.
Cities get sued. Counties get sued. School districts, transit agencies, the people who own the pothole.
Somebody has to stand up for them, and this firm has decided it should be you.
It's dangerous conditions, premises, catastrophic injury and wrongful death work, which means real cases with real exposure from your first week.
And you can do it from your kitchen table, provided your kitchen table is in Southern California.
Why this firm:
Fully remote or hybrid, your choice. The only condition is that remote candidates live in Southern California
You run your own cases from inception to resolution. Strategy, discovery, motions, mediations and trial
Mentoring from experienced partners rather than a handbook
Regularly in the Best Law Firms rankings, if that sort of thing matters to you
$135k to $200k depending on experience, plus a performance based bonus plan
What you'll be doing:
Defending public entities in dangerous condition, premises liability, sexual abuse, catastrophic injury and wrongful death matters
Drafting pleadings and motions, managing discovery, and arguing motions in court
Attending mediations and taking cases through to trial
Working closely with the team and the partners on strategy
What you'll have:
2+ years of civil litigation experience, ideally in general liability, construction, catastrophic injury or commercial disputes
Admitted to The California Bar
Experience with pleadings, discovery, motions, depositions and court appearances
Arbitration or trial experience is a plus, and so is supervising junior associates, but neither is essential
Next Steps:
If this one isn't for you, put my number in your phone anyway. Plenty of the people I've placed first rang me about a job that wasn't quite right for them.
