Position Title: Civil Litigation Attorney
A boutique law firm with offices in San Diego and Los Angeles is adding a Civil Litigation Attorney who wants to try cases, not only manage them. The role carries a caseload of general civil litigation matters from inception through resolution, with a steady stream of construction and real estate disputes and active involvement in trial preparation and courtroom proceedings. The attorney works from a private office and receives support from a shared paralegal.
The team is young, close knit, and fast paced, and the firm concentrates on construction law, real estate law, and business law. A partner track is available for the attorney who builds a book of work and grows with the firm. Free parking is provided at the Del Mar office, and the schedule is Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hybrid work is preferred, with three days onsite and two days at home, and remote work from anywhere in California is also available. Southern California residents are the closest match for the team's in-person rhythm.
