Are you an exceptional litigation writer looking for substantive legal work, competitive compensation, and the flexibility to work remotely?
A growing civil defense practice is seeking talented attorneys to support an active volume of California state and federal litigation. The immediate priority is attorneys with 3–6 years of experience, although promising junior attorneys and highly experienced litigators are also encouraged to apply.
This opportunity offers the flexibility to align responsibilities with individual strengths, whether your expertise lies in legal research and writing, courtroom advocacy, or mentoring developing attorneys.
The Opportunity
The practice focuses primarily on public entity defense, including personal injury claims against public entities, police liability, excessive force, officer-involved shootings, and civil rights litigation.
Attorneys will contribute to active litigation matters, with opportunities to develop a role that reflects their experience and professional strengths.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct legal research involving California state and federal litigation.
Draft motions, briefs, and other litigation documents.
Assist with ongoing litigation matters and deadlines.
Participate in courtroom proceedings, client communications, or attorney mentorship as appropriate to experience and skill set.
Qualifications
Approximately 3–6 years of litigation experience preferred, although other experience levels will be considered.
Exceptional legal research, writing, and analytical skills.
Strong attention to detail and consistently high-quality work product.
Ability to work independently while remaining receptive to supervision and constructive feedback.
Prior public entity defense experience is welcome but not required.
Trial and deposition experience is valued but not mandatory.
Compensation & Benefits
The practice offers competitive, experience-based compensation with flexibility for exceptional candidates.
Benefits and Professional Resources
Fully remote work with flexible scheduling.
1,850 annual billable-hour requirement.
Unlimited paid time off.
$5,250 annual student loan reimbursement.
$150 monthly technology reimbursement.
Firm-provided MacBook, Clio, and Claude subscriptions.
Paralegal and legal assistant support.
Mentorship and opportunities for increasing responsibility.
Intended employer-paid employee medical coverage and planned 401(k) matching, with final details pending.
Candidates outside Southern California may be considered, provided they can meet litigation deadlines and any necessary court appearances.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This position offers a combination of remote flexibility, meaningful civil litigation work, and the opportunity to contribute your strongest legal skills.
Exceptional legal writers may be considered for predominantly research- and writing-focused responsibilities with limited client interaction. Attorneys with courtroom experience or an interest in mentoring junior lawyers may contribute in those areas.
The practice values attorneys who take pride in their work, appreciate direct feedback, and consistently deliver excellent results.
Application Process
One to three legal writing samples are required before an interview. Writing quality and attention to detail are central to the selection process.
If you are a talented litigation attorney seeking remote flexibility, competitive compensation, and meaningful professional opportunities, we encourage you to apply.
