Full Job Description
Associate Attorney to join our General Liability Practice Group in our San Francisco office. This is a unique opportunity to gain meaningful litigation experience on high-stakes cases while working alongside nationally recognized trial attorneys.

This role offers a rare combination of meaningful responsibility, high-quality mentorship, and flexibility. You will be part of a collaborative team handling sophisticated, high-stakes litigation for national and Fortune 500 clients.

The Opportunity

At Segal McCambridge, associates are not siloed or relegated to support roles. As a key member of our team, you'll work on a wide variety of complex civil defense matters, including:

  • Catastrophic injury
  • Product liability
  • Wrongful death
  • Premises and habitability claims
  • Warranty and other high-exposure litigation

From day one, you'll receive hands-on experience: drafting pleadings, arguing motions, conducting depositions, managing discovery, and appearing in court. You'll be mentored by experienced partners and given room to grow in a supportive, high-performance environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys who want to sharpen their litigation skills, take ownership of their work, and build a long-term career within a growing national firm.

What We're Looking For
  • Active license to practice law in California
  • At least 3 years of experience in civil defense litigation
  • Strong skills in legal research, writing, and oral advocacy
  • Experience drafting pleadings, handling discovery, and managing motion practice
  • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
  • Team-oriented mindset with a proactive, ownership-driven approach

Compensation & Growth

Segal McCambridge offers competitive compensation, bonus opportunities, and credit for business origination. Associates benefit from clear paths for advancement and the chance to grow within a firm that values initiative, collaboration, and high-quality work.

Benefits
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Health savings and flexible spending accounts
  • Paid time off and parental leave
  • Life insurance and employee assistance program
  • Professional development assistance
  • Referral and employee discount programs
