Position Title: Junior Associate Litigation Attorney

This is the kind of litigation role that gives ambitious attorneys real exposure to sophisticated cases without getting lost in a massive firm. A high-end boutique litigation practice is seeking a Junior/Mid-Level Litigation Associate with 4–6 years of civil litigation experience to join a collaborative team handling complex, high-stakes matters. The attorney will support cases involving complex commercial disputes, white-collar matters, government investigations, healthcare fraud, employment-related litigation, trade secrets, and founder disputes while taking on increasingly substantive responsibility as they develop.

The ideal candidate is a strong writer and confident communicator who is intellectually curious, internally motivated, and ready to think beyond assigned tasks to anticipate what a case needs next.

  • Work closely with partners, senior attorneys and paralegals on complex matters involving significant financial and business stakes
  • Take increasing ownership of matters as experience and familiarity with the firm’s practice grow
  • Analyze case developments, identify next steps and proactively move assignments forward
  • Participate in collaborative case strategy while exercising independent judgment and critical thinking

Requirements

  • JD from an accredited law school
  • Active California Bar membership
  • 4–6 years of civil litigation experience
  • Experience in complex litigation or a closely related practice area
  • Exceptional legal research, analytical, and writing skills
  • Strong oral communication skills with the confidence to advocate effectively

  • Self-starter mentality with the ability to thrive without micromanagement
  • Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach
  • Deposition and in-person court experience are strongly preferred

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance benefits
  • 401(k) with employer match
