Job description
Litigation Associate – Pasadena, California
A well-established California civil litigation defense firm is expanding its litigation team in response to a significant increase in wildfire litigation and is seeking multiple Litigation Associates to join its Pasadena office.
This is more than a traditional insurance defense position. Attorneys receive meaningful litigation responsibility from the outset, managing cases from inception through resolution while taking and defending depositions, drafting and arguing motions, attending hearings, mediations, and settlement conferences, negotiating settlements, and assisting with trial preparation. This is not a document review role; associates gain substantial courtroom exposure and hands‑on litigation experience.
The firm is known for its collaborative culture and strong commitment to mentorship. Associates work closely with experienced litigators and enjoy regular access to firm leadership, creating an environment where professional development and long‑term career growth are genuine priorities.
Compensation
$135,000–$200,000 annually, commensurate with experience
Qualifications
Active California Bar license in good standing
Approximately 3–7 years of civil litigation experience preferred
Civil litigation defense experience preferred
Personal injury defense experience preferred
Experience with pleadings, discovery, motions, depositions, and court appearances
Strong legal writing, analytical, and advocacy skills
Ability to independently manage a litigation caseload while meeting deadlines
Interest in mentorship, litigation development, and increased courtroom and trial experience
