Job description
Litigation Associate Attorney (2-6 Years) - Sacramento or San Francisco
We are a well-regarded California firm where associates handle sophisticated, complex litigation - and actually have a life outside work. If you want meaningful courtroom and motion-practice experience without the grind culture of a mega-firm, this is the role.
What you'll do
Own matters end-to-end across all phases: pre-litigation strategy, pleadings, discovery, law and motion, mediation, and trial preparation
Draft high-quality motions, briefs, and discovery - including dispositive motions such as demurrers and motions for summary judgment
Take and defend depositions, prepare witnesses, and manage written discovery responses
Appear at hearings, case management conferences, mediations, and arbitrations
Conduct complex legal research and deliver clear strategic analysis on business disputes
Collaborate directly with partners and senior associates to develop case strategy and manage client relationships
Coordinate trial preparation: exhibit lists, witness outlines, expert coordination, and case-theme development
What you need
J.D. from an accredited law school and active California State Bar membership in good standing
2-6 years of substantive general civil litigation experience
Demonstrated ability to draft and argue both dispositive and non-dispositive motions
Experience managing cases through discovery, motion practice, and mediation
Exceptional legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills, with a collaborative and client-focused approach
1750 min billable requitements
Nice to have
Trial experience (first or second chair)
Experience with complex business litigation, commercial disputes, or employment matters
Familiarity with California state court practice and local rules in Sacramento or San Francisco
We are committed to reasonable workload expectations so associates can produce excellent work and maintain a fulfilling personal life.
