Why This Firm Stands Out

This established multi-state civil litigation firm is selectively hiring associates who want meaningful responsibility, long-term stability, and a voice at the table across various practice areas.

What differentiates this opportunity:

• Multiple attorneys with 20+ year careers at the firm
• Support staff tenure of 20–40 years
• Hybrid work model with structured workflow
• Quarterly bonus eligibility starting at 1,850 hours
• 401(k) eligibility immediately upon hire
• Benefits effective within 30 days

The firm has earned industry recognition through attorney distinctions including:

• Attorneys selected to Super Lawyers
• AV PreeminentTM peer ratings from Martindale-Hubbell
• Rankings in Best Law Firms published by U.S. News & World Report

These recognitions reflect peer-respected litigation strength and consistent client results.

Culture & Stability

The firm retains a core team with decades of tenure. Several attorneys began as summer associates and advanced to partnership and managing partner roles with Partners after many years having moved on to successfully open their own firms.

This is a firm where:

• Attorneys can "agree to disagree" and be heard
• Career progression has historically been internal
• Long-term retention is common
• Support staff are deeply experienced

The firm models its workflow after large firms but maintains the accessibility of a mid-sized platform.

Practice Areas

• Business Litigation
• Casualty Litigation
• Labor & Employment
• Insurance Coverage & Bad Faith

What You'll Do

• Manage cases independently from intake to resolution
• Conduct liability and property coverage analysis
• Draft motions, pleadings, and dispositive briefs
• Take and defend depositions
• Appear in court
• Advise clients directly

The ideal candidate is comfortable running files with minimal supervision and understands sequencing without handholding.

Ideal Background

• 3+ years civil litigation experience
• Strong research and writing record
• Active California Bar
• AZ or NV Bar admission is an advantage

Who Thrives Here

This role is well-suited for attorneys who want:

• A structured but sustainable model
• Quarterly bonus upside
• Autonomy without micromanagement
• Direct client exposure
• Long-term partnership track potential
