California General Liability Associate Attorney

About the Role

Join a California general liability defense practice as an Associate Attorney with 2 to 8 years of civil litigation experience. You will independently manage a full caseload, with opportunities to take on broad litigation responsibilities and progress in your legal career.

What You'll Do

• Manage general liability defense matters involving premises liability, personal injury, and casualty claims.

• Draft and respond to motions, complaints, and written discovery.

• Attend and defend depositions, appear at court hearings, and participate in client meetings.

• Assist with preparation for mediations and trials.

• Manage a substantial caseload and meet an annual billing target of approximately 1,950 hours.

What We're Looking For

• 2 to 8 years of civil defense litigation experience, preferably in general liability, premises liability, bodily injury, personal injury, or casualty defense.

• Active California bar license in good standing and a JD from an ABA-approved law school.

• Defense-side law firm experience handling full caseloads, not solely motions work; plaintiff-side-only experience is not a fit.

• Ability to independently manage 25 or more cases with minimal supervision.

• Experience with depositions, court appearances, and discovery drafting; trial or mediation experience is valuable.

• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, Westlaw, and LexisNexis.

• Must be eligible to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range: $130,000 to $170,000 annually, with quarterly bonus opportunities. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

Remote, with Los Angeles, California as the primary location. Other California locations include San Diego and San Francisco.
