  • Participate in trial proceedings and contribute to legal strategy and advocacy.
  • Build strong, long-term client relationships based on trust and results.

Qualifications

  • 1–5 years of experience in personal injury, employment, or class action litigation.
  • Active membership in the California State Bar.
  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school.
  • Demonstrated motivation, initiative, and attention to detail.
  • Strong writing, research, and analytical skills.
  • Excellent interpersonal communication and ability to work collaboratively.
  • Commitment to achieving results and serving clients with professionalism.
  • Culture & Firm Appeal

Attorneys are encouraged to develop their litigation skills early through client-facing responsibilities and courtroom participation.

    Associates are valued not just for their skill but for their passion for justice and community impact. The firm's inclusive culture, accessible leadership, and supportive team dynamics make it a standout destination for plaintiffs' attorneys seeking both challenge and purpose.

    Why This Role Is Unique

  • Hands-on exposure to jury trials, mediations, and class action litigation.
  • Direct mentorship from experienced trial attorneys.
  • Rapid progression toward independent case management and leadership.
  • Strong commitment to training, feedback, and career advancement.
  • Work on cases that make a real difference for clients and communities.
  • Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
