About the role
Description supplied by the original job listing.
Most trial attorney adverts use the word trial the way a gym uses the word fitness. Aspirationally.
This one means it.
First chair. Your motions, your depositions, your verdict.
And you can do the prep from your kitchen table, because this firm will let you work remotely from anywhere in California.
You'll be paid up to $300k. The exact figure depends on the amount of trial experience you have.
Why this firm:
Remote, hybrid or flexible, your call.
First chair trial work, not second chair with a good view of the trial
A full spread of defense work: general liability, transportation, premises, catastrophic injury, construction injury, habitability, products and trucking
A big national platform behind you, so the work doesn't dry up
$250k to $300k depending on experience
What you'll be doing:
Taking and defending fact and expert depositions
Covering pretrial and trial appearances as first chair
Managing and arguing the big pretrial and trial motions
Running a defense caseload, with as much independence as your experience earns you
Talking directly to clients, carriers, experts and opposing counsel
What you'll have:
Litigation experience, with cases managed from intake through trial
Admitted to The California Bar
A track record of first chair work, or at the very least a hunger for it
Next Steps:
Not actively looking? That's fine. Most people I speak to aren't, they just like knowing what's out there.
If this job turns out to be no better than what you've got, no harm done. You've lost 15 minutes and you get to go back to your desk feeling a bit smug.

I'm around from 6am Pacific and at weekends, because your weekdays probably belong to judges and billing software.
Or if you're more old school, just call me on 646 540 9647.
