Description
About the Firm:
Our client is dedicated to representing clients who have suffered catastrophic, life-changing injuries. Their cases include medical malpractice, product liability, accidents, and wrongful death. With a proven record of securing substantial financial compensation for clients, we are proud to combine legal excellence with compassionate representation.
About the Role:
Our client is seeking a skilled Associate Attorney to join their team and assist with managing an expanding caseload. This is a unique opportunity for a motivated litigator to grow with the firm, with the potential to take over the practice as the principal attorney, as one partner transitions out of active practice. This role features full remote flexibility, with occasional local court appearances (Bay Area or Inland Empire) mostly conducted on Zoom. You’ll join a collaborative and driven team of 5 staff members, with one individual fully dedicated to intake, handling and screening new cases (98% of cases are turned down).
Perks & Benefits:
+ Fully Remote: The firm is moving away from its physical office by January, offering flexibility to work from anywhere.
+ Growth Potential: Ideal role for someone who wants to take over the practice in the future.
+ Mentorship: James is personally committed to teaching you the nuances of medical malpractice litigation.
+ Meaningful and impactful work with catastrophic injury cases.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities:
+ Handle case management for a variety of personal injury and medical malpractice cases.
+ Appear in court (primarily remote/Zoom; occasional in-person appearances in Northern or Southern California as needed).
+ Collaborate with the team to devise creative legal strategies, think critically, and achieve successful resolutions.
+ Conduct legal research, draft pleadings, motions, and manage discovery.
+ Advocate for clients in settlement negotiations and, when necessary, trial proceedings.
What We’re Looking For:
+ Experience: 4–7 years in litigation, with strong case management skills.
+ Self-Driven Attitude: A proactive, independent attorney who can manage cases with minimal oversight.
+ Creative Thinking: Ability to think outside the box to develop innovative legal strategies.
+ Litigative Excellence: Strong courtroom presence and the ability to effectively advocate for clients.
+ California Bar Membership: Active and in good standing.
Why Join Us?
This is an exceptional opportunity for an attorney seeking long-term growth. The flexibility and autonomy offered by this role, combined with the potential to assume ownership of the firm, make it an ideal fit for an ambitious litigator.
