Description

Robert Half Legal is working with a high-end boutique law firm seeking a REMOTE law & motion writer. The main partner - a former Allen Matkins attorney - focuses his practice on bad faith litigation and only works the highest exposure cases. A large insurance company is the firm's main client.

This law & motion attorney should have 3+ years of experience drafting substantive motions in CA civil courts - motions for summary judgement, demurs, motions to strike - both in state and federal court. Please do not apply without this experience.

The law & motion attorney will not handle depositions or substantive trial preparation; this role is best for an attorney who simply wants to focus on writing.

The billables at this firm are 1900, and associates have no problem hitting the mark.

Perks of Company:

• Staff has strong tenure: 15, 19, 20 years. They get calls from headhunters all the time, but choose to stay because they’re happy, have work-life balance and get paid well!

• The team works on high profile matters (such as the Cesars Palace case, a $4B case, alongside big firms in New York).

• Stability of industry – this field is not going anywhere, and lawyers are always in demand within it.

• Opportunity to try cases, not be stifled like at a big firm.

• Quotes from the managing partner:

o “I’m not a big deal, you can call me anytime.”

o “I saw how big firms treat people – I don’t yell at people or disrespect them. I consider them friends. I take pride in the fact that they have all bought homes, are making good money, and are happy here.”

o “If my team calls and says ‘Hey I’m in a fight with my wife, can I take a few hours off?’ I’m flexible.”

Though this job is remote, attorneys local to Southern California (specifically Orange County) who can come into the office semi-regularly are preferred. Either way, a CA bar + experience in CA civil courts is required.

Requirements

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in civil litigation, with a focus on legal research & writing

• Proficiency in drafting demurs, motions for summary judgement, and other pleadings. The attorney should have done at least 5-10 substantive motions from start to finish.

• Experience in insurance law (and specifically, bad faith) preferred but not mandatory.

• CA bar license.

• Ability to work remotely, in Pacific time, with very occasional travel to Southern California.

• Proficiency in drafting demurs, motions for summary judgement, and other pleadings.
