Plaintiff Litigation Attorney – Complex Litigation – California (Hybrid/Remote Options)

A nationally recognized plaintiff-side litigation firm is seeking a Litigation Attorney to join its team handling complex, high-value cases. This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who wants to work on impactful, large-scale matters—including catastrophic injury, mass torts, and other complex litigation - rather than high-volume work.

The firm offers a collaborative environment, meaningful case involvement, and the opportunity to work on precedent-setting matters alongside experienced trial attorneys.

Responsibilities

  • Handle complex plaintiff-side litigation matters from inception through resolution
  • Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, and discovery
  • Participate in depositions, mediations, and trial preparation
  • Develop case strategy and conduct in-depth legal research
  • Work closely with experts and assist in building high-value cases
  • Collaborate with team members across offices on large-scale litigation matters

Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an ABA-accredited law school
  • Licensed and in good standing with the California Bar
  • Experience in plaintiff-side civil litigation required
  • Class action or complex litigation experience preferred but not required
  • Strong research, writing, and analytical skills
  • Ability to manage cases and work both independently and as part of a team

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation with strong bonus potential
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with profit-sharing opportunities
  • Paid bar dues and CLE
  • Generous PTO and paid holidays
  • Paid parking and additional firm-sponsored benefits
  • Opportunities to work on high-impact, complex litigation matters
