CONSTRUCTION DEFECT Attorney - Defense (Walnut Creek)

Haight Brown & Bonesteel LLP is seeking an attorney with significant, hands-on experience in construction defect litigation on the defense side to join our Walnut Creek office. This is a full-time, in-office position. We are not seeking applicants who want to work remotely; instead, we are looking for candidates who are eager to build a long-term career at the firm and grow into partnership after demonstrating consistent performance, leadership, and contribution.

The ideal candidate will have substantial experience managing all phases of construction litigation, with particular emphasis on taking the lead in depositions of plaintiffs and expert witnesses. Candidates should be comfortable drafting and responding to discovery and pleadings, preparing and arguing motions, and independently managing case files. Second chair trial experience is a plus. Strong research and writing skills are essential, along with the ability to prioritize and handle multiple cases in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Haight is a well-established California law firm with offices throughout the state. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, transparency, work-life balance, and long-term professional development.

The position offers a salary range of $150,000 - $180,000 per year, plus a $20,000 annual bonus for those who meet the firm's quarterly billable hour requirements.
