Description
Stinson LLP seeks an Associate Attorney with two to five years of financial services litigation experience to join our San Francisco, California office.
Duties include file management, motion practice, courtroom opportunities, depositions, alternative dispute resolution, and trial preparation. We offer a supportive and congenial team environment balanced with autonomy and hands‑on experience guided by partners with decades of litigation experience. The ideal candidate will be self‑motivated and eager to take ownership of a caseload but also have a team‑oriented approach to work and exhibit good interpersonal communication skills. Active California license is required.
Candidates with experience from a regional, national, or outstanding local law firm are preferred. Excellent writing, oral advocacy skills, and academics are required. Judicial clerkship experience is a plus. The successful candidate should have the following experience and/or skills:
Responsibility in analyzing, organizing, and drafting pleadings (e.g., demurrers, motions to dismiss, motions to strike, discovery motions, summary judgment motions)
Outstanding attention to detail;
Proficiency in e‑discovery and fact development;
Propounding and responding to written discovery;
Experience taking and defending depositions;
Experience with appearances in state and federal courts in case management conferences, motions and other pre‑trial matters;
Familiarity with (R)FDCPA, FCRA, TCPA, UCC, EFTA, TILA, and UCL/UDAP; and
Strategic and analytical skills in addressing client challenges, both legally and economically.
The role requires a candidate with strong interpersonal skills, a high degree of maturity, a willingness to learn, strong initiative and ambition, and a desire to handle a challenging workload. Candidates must be able to prioritize and handle urgent tasks and requests simultaneously with a high level of competence and accuracy. A successful candidate will be comfortable and able to interface directly with clients. We are relentlessly committed to client service and look for candidates who share that commitment.
Stinson has approximately 150 litigation attorneys (and over 450 total attorneys across the country) and represents clients in state, federal, tribal and other courts and tribunals throughout the U.S. We also often resolve matters without litigation by conducting investigations, engaging in pre‑suit negotiations and employing alternative dispute resolution procedures such as arbitration and mediation.
