Job Snapshot

Job Description

Litigation Associate 

California (Los Angeles, Ventura, San Diego, San Francisco) | Hybrid Flexibility

If you’re looking for a straightforward litigation role with real stability, consistent work, and a clear bonus structure, this opportunity checks a lot of boxes. A long-standing California firm is adding to its team due to continued growth across its civil defense practice.

The Work

You’ll be involved in a mix of:

  • Insurance defense and coverage matters

  • General and premises liability

  • Employment-related disputes

  • Workers’ compensation and business litigation

This is a true litigation role - you won’t be siloed. Expect to touch multiple practice areas and stay busy with a steady pipeline of files.

What Day-to-Day Looks Like

  • Managing cases from early stages through resolution

  • Drafting motions, pleadings, and discovery

  • Taking depositions and contributing to case strategy

  • Working alongside experienced litigators who keep things practical and efficient

Why Attorneys Tend to Like This Setup

  • Clear, predictable structure – ~160 hours/month expectation

  • Monthly bonuses – paid out consistently for hours above target

  • Origination incentives – earn on the business you bring in

  • Hybrid flexibility after initial onboarding period

  • A casual, no-frills culture where people focus on the work (not office politics)

Comp & Perks

  • Compensation aligned with your experience and expectations

  • Medical, dental, and vision

  • 401(k) with employer contribution

  • Paid parking

  • Bar dues and CLE covered

Process

  • Quick initial Zoom conversation

  • Followed by an in-person meeting

This is a strong fit for someone who wants consistent litigation exposure, a transparent compensation model, and a firm environment that’s professional without being overly rigid.
