Associate – Litigation Practice Group

Folger Levin LLP is looking for an attorney with between two and five years of experience to join our Litigation Practice Group. We offer a diverse and intellectually challenging practice that focuses on representing clients in a variety of commercial, trust, and employment disputes.

About Our Practice

Our practice covers a broad range of disputes:

· We handle myriad commercial disputes, including fraud and breach of contract claims, trade secret misappropriation, and employee mobility disputes.

· We have an active trust litigation practice, working on claims involving the interpretation of trust instruments and allegations of undue influence.

· We represent companies in public accommodation litigation, including class actions, regulatory investigations, and individual proceedings in courts and arbitral forums.

· Our litigators work extensively in employment law matters, including defending wage and hour class action and harassment and discrimination matters.

Central to our litigation philosophy is the view that the objectives of our clients vary, and that our success turns on our ability to tailor our approach to meet each client's unique objectives.

About the Position

For this position, key job responsibilities include the following:

· Preparing pleadings, briefs, and other papers for filing with courts and arbitrators.

· Conducting legal research and analysis on a broad range of issues.

· Participating in all aspects of fact and expert discovery, including conducting and defending depositions.

· Participating in settlement efforts, including drafting mediation briefs and participating in mediations and settlement conferences.

· Effectively communicating with clients and colleagues to identify the relevant goals, strategies, and tactics for litigation, and helping clients understand the risks and opportunities afforded by litigation.

Qualifications

We look for candidates who can be part of the long-term future of our practice group and our firm. We recognize that gaining expertise in the broad range of skills described above will need to be developed over time. We seek candidates who are members of the California bar and have a minimum of two years of law firm or other substantive litigation experience (e.g., clerking or government experience), as well as exceptional writing, legal research, and analytical skills. We also value experience outside the practice of law that shows leadership, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to community service.

In addition, we seek candidates who:

● Enjoy Collaboration. We believe that the highest quality legal work results from collaboration among talented lawyers, and we frequently work with and support our colleagues in the firm's other practice areas. We seek candidates who enjoy working as part of a team with smart, supportive, and enthusiastic colleagues.

● Lead With Curiosity and Analyze with Care. No one has all the answers. Our most successful colleagues actively participate in mentorship opportunities, and demonstrate vulnerability in asking questions and learning new things. They love to brainstorm with their colleagues, and comfortably admit when they don't have all the answers. And when confronted with new issues, they are willing to dive into primary and secondary sources in order to analyze those issues thoroughly.

● Desire to Be of Service to Others. We are passionate about solving problems for our clients, and seek candidates who find professional fulfillment in helping clients and colleagues address difficult legal issues.

● Exhibit an Empathetic Mindset. The ability to understand, hear and listen to the needs and worries of clients is critical to effective representation. We particularly value colleagues who are able to see things from multiple points of view and use that perspective to develop effective solutions.

● Demonstrate Effective Communication Skills. Our attorneys are constantly explaining difficult legal issues to client representatives, many of whom are not lawyers. Clear oral and written communications regarding goals, strategies, and risks is essential to effective representation and to developing meaningful relationships with clients and colleagues.

Compensation and Benefits

The compensation for this position will be between $210,000 and $240,000, depending on experience and qualifications.

We also offer full-time employees the following benefits: Paid time off at a rate of twenty-six days per year; participation in group health insurance plan (including medical and dental) at no cost to employee; up to twelve weeks of paid medical and family leave after one year of employment; and, after one year of employment, participation in the firm's 401k plan.

We have adopted a hybrid work model, in which employees can work partially remotely, and partially from our offices in downtown San Francisco. Currently, our expectation is that attorneys work in the office three days per week.

About Folger Levin

Located in San Francisco, Folger Levin is a boutique, full-service firm. We are known for delivering sophisticated legal services of the highest quality in an environment marked by a commitment to enhancing the personal and professional fulfillment of our colleagues.

When this firm was founded, we agreed to serve as stewards of the firm for future generations and aspired to create relationships marked by trust, collaboration, open communication, respect, and an understanding that our joint responsibility for the firm is a source of excitement and pride. That goal continues to shape our approach to client relationships, hiring, and professional development.

We have structured our firm to align our interests with those of our clients, and to create an environment in which attorneys and staff can establish long-term, satisfying, and fulfilling careers. By way of example, we recognize that the common law firm practice of imposing minimum billable hour requirements can create incentives that do not serve the interests of our attorneys, or of our clients. Because service is about quality, not quantity, we do not impose a billable-hour target. Our focus is on devoting as much time as is necessary – no more, no less – to deliver excellent client service, while having the capacity to devote time to learning, growth (professional development), and community service.

We also know that we develop deeper relationships with each other and with clients when we have limited turnover. Every time we hire a new attorney, it is with the hope that this new member of our team will become a partner in the firm. This sets us apart from some firms whose business model depends on a large number of associates and fewer partners. Our focus on long-term relationships directly impacts the quality of the associate experience, as we are motivated to assign interesting work, provide hands-on mentoring, help associates develop direct client relationships, offer a realistic path to partnership, and avoid associate burnout.

Mentorship

We are committed to providing active mentoring, and thereby help talented professionals develop into superb attorneys. Our associates work closely with partners in small teams, affording associates the opportunity to have significant input into strategy and decision-making. Associates can expect to receive detailed and constructive feedback from experienced attorneys on their research and analysis, writing, strategic decision-making, and oral and written communication skills. Such feedback helps associates develop their own authentic, effective approach to advising clients.

Our firm also believes in the value of cross-disciplinary mentoring. So, in addition to working with partners in the Litigation Practice Group, associates can expect to develop relationships with partners from our other departments. For example, in handling employment disputes, our litigation attorney work closely with partners in our labor and employment. Similarly, our litigation attorneys frequently consult with members of the Estate Planning Practice Group on trust litigation matters.
