Confidential Opportunity | Associate Attorney – Insurance Coverage & Civil Litigation

Remote | Anywhere in California

Are you looking to elevate your litigation career while gaining experience in one of the most intellectually challenging areas of civil practice?

A highly respected, nationally recognized law firm is seeking an Associate Attorney with 1+ years of civil litigation experience to join its growing Insurance Services practice. This is an outstanding opportunity for an attorney who enjoys legal analysis, sophisticated litigation, and working alongside experienced mentors on complex, high-exposure matters.

This practice represents major insurance carriers in coverage analysis and litigation involving a diverse range of industries and claims, including product liability, mass torts, environmental matters, transportation, professional liability, personal injury, habitability, and intellectual property disputes.

Whether you already have insurance coverage experience or are a strong civil litigator looking to develop a highly specialized practice, this team is committed to providing the mentorship and training needed for long-term success.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Handle sophisticated insurance coverage analysis and civil litigation matters in state and federal courts.
  • Draft pleadings, dispositive motions, discovery, coverage opinions, reservation of rights letters, and other strategic legal documents.
  • Participate in depositions, mediations, hearings, and client strategy sessions.
  • Collaborate closely with experienced attorneys on litigation strategy, risk analysis, and case evaluation.
  • Communicate directly with clients while developing strong litigation and counseling skills.
  • Take on meaningful responsibility early while receiving exceptional mentorship and guidance.

What We're Looking For

  • Active California Bar license.
  • 1+ years of civil litigation experience.
  • Strong legal research, writing, and analytical abilities.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills.
  • Self-motivated, collaborative, and eager to grow.
  • Insurance coverage experience is a plus but not required.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is far more than a litigation position. You'll have the opportunity to build a sophisticated practice while working on nationally significant matters that challenge and develop your legal skills every day.

The firm offers:

  • Remote or hybrid work flexibility.
  • Hands-on mentorship from accomplished attorneys invested in your success.
  • Early client interaction and substantive case responsibility.
  • Exposure to complex, high-profile litigation across multiple industries.
  • A collaborative culture that values professional development and long-term career growth.
  • Clear opportunities for advancement.

Outstanding Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 401(k) with employer match.
  • Paid parental leave.
  • Competitive compensation.
  • A supportive environment where attorneys are encouraged to build lasting careers.

If you're interested in joining a premier litigation team where you'll sharpen your advocacy skills, work on sophisticated matters, and receive exceptional mentorship, I'd love to have a confidential conversation.
