Full Job Description
Senior Litigation Attorney - Real Estate
📍 Carlsbad, CA | Full-Time | Boutique Firm | Hybrid Flexibility
About G10 Law
We are a strategic, growth-oriented boutique firm dedicated to high-quality real estate and land use work throughout California. We operate with integrity, collaboration, and respect-free from BigLaw politics and burnout culture. Our attorneys take real ownership of cases while having the support of a strong, experienced team.
The Opportunity
We're seeking a seasoned litigator who enjoys both real courtroom work and creative problem-solving. You will lead complex commercial and real estate disputes from intake through resolution-with direct client interaction and a voice in firm strategy.
What You'll Do
• Take charge of a robust real estate litigation caseload (easements, development conflicts, lease + title disputes, non-disclosure, HOA issues, etc.)
• Craft and execute litigation strategy-motions, discovery, depositions, mediations, trial prep
• Collaborate closely with transactional team to pursue early resolution when possible
• Build lasting relationships with sophisticated clients (developers, investors, property owners)
• Optional mentorship of junior attorneys - scale responsibility if desired
What You Bring
• California Bar, active and in good standing
• 7+ years litigation experience with strong real estate exposure
• Confident handling depositions, law & motion, and client communications independently
• Entrepreneurial mindset: interest in building a practice with high autonomy
• Portable business a plus but not required
Why You'll Love Working Here
We invest in your long-term success
• Competitive salary ($165k-$185k DOE) + performance bonuses
• 1600-hour target (predictable schedule, real work/life balance)
• Health benefits, PTO, bar dues + MCLE reimbursement
• Hybrid flexibility once integrated
• Direct access to leadership and decision-makers
• Real pathway to elevated roles in a growing firm
• A supportive culture - no egos, no burnout, no weekend expectations
If you're ready to step out of the big-firm grind (or lead beyond a solo/small practice), we'd love to talk.
📩 Apply confidentially with resume + short note on your litigation experience.
