Company Description

You may know us as Wonderful Pistachios, FIJI Water, POM Wonderful, Halos Citrus, Teleflora and JUSTIN Wine, but we’re all Wonderful and  we have a great opportunity for an experienced corporate transactional attorney to join our team.  You will join a team of lawyers that were trained at top tier law schools and firms who continue to apply and grow their exceptional legal skills as business-minded practitioners in collaboration with our Wonderful family of businesses.

The Wonderful legal team is a full-service law group with approximately 100 individuals (including 50 attorneys).  Our corporate team has over 15 lawyers and is a part of our broader transactional group that also includes real estate, employment, intellectual property, regulatory, education and government affairs teams.  Our lawyers actually do the legal work for our businesses instead of just managing outside counsel.  Wonderful is a vibrant and growing entrepreneurial company and, because we are privately owned, there are no cumbersome public shareholder concerns or bureaucratic decision-making.  Here you will find a unique opportunity to continue to expand and hone your legal skills in collaboration with a broad and supportive team, while developing your business acumen and learning to partner with each of our businesses in a way that meets their individual needs.  Our lawyers are highly regarded across our businesses as go-to problem solvers.

No billable hours, no pressure to get or retain clients, we strive for balance as well as excellence.

This position will be based at our West Los Angeles, CA office. We work a hybrid schedule with an in-office requirement Monday-Wednesday and the option to work remotely on Thursday and Friday.
