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)
