Job Description
NEW Insurance Defense Associate | Elite OC Boutique| Complex / High-Exposure Matters (No Volume “Slip & Falls”) | Up to $225k + Bonus | Hybrid (OC)
Highlights
- True complex defense work: catastrophic injury, wrongful death, product liability, mass tort exposure, and sophisticated liability matters (they avoid low-value volume work).
- Proven trial + appellate track record: meaningful, high-stakes litigation with strong results.
- Real progression: a large portion of equity partners started as associates—people actually build careers here.
- Stable + low attrition: long-tenured team and consistent growth (not churn-and-burn).
- Supportive culture: collaborative environment, mentorship, and firm events—without sacrificing standards.
The Role
- Run high-exposure insurance defense matters from inception through resolution
- Own discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial prep
- Work across general liability / premises / product liability (and broader complex matters as needed)
Compensation & Benefits
- Up to $225k total comp depending on experience
- Discretionary year-end bonus (up to ~$20k, tied to performance/quality)
- Full benefits package (health, dental, vision, etc.)
What they’re looking for
- 3–8 years of insurance defense litigation experience
- Strong litigation fundamentals: writing, deposition experience, and case ownership
- California bar admission (or clearly eligible/relocating to practice in CA)
Location / Setup
Orange County – Hybrid (with a structured, professional team environment)
Hybrid schedule: typically 3 days in-office / 2 remote (flexible depending on case needs).
