Description

Robert Half is recruiting a Litigation Associate Attorney for a prominent full service, mid-sized business law firm in the South Bay. The Associate will help manage the real estate and construction litigation matters from two senior partners.

The duties include preparing and arguing law and motion, legal research, the full scope of discovery, court appearances and some depositions, arbitration/mediation/trial preparation and attendance, settlement negotiations, and some real estate transactional work. There is lots of direct client contact and meetings, great mentorship by partners, and plenty of autonomy to manage caseload when ready to do so. Annual billable hour requirement is 1,800. The partners are very supportive of and encourage the Associate’s marketing efforts (which are expensed by the firm) and participating in professional networking events, local industry and Bar associations, and speaking engagements.

Our client is looking for a litigator with 2+ years of practice experience, with good academic record in law school, superior writing and analytical skills, and strong drive and desire to become equity partner and develop their own practice over time. Experience advising on mechanics liens, stop notices, and payment bonds is a plus, but not required.

Our client is offering a base salary range (DOE) of $150,000 – 250,000+/yr, a generous annual discretionary bonus range of $10,000 – 30,000+, and very generous employment benefits (the employee’s and dependents’ medical [Kaiser and PPO plans]/dental/vision premiums are 100% paid for by the firm; 401k plan with employer match; good paid vacation policy; etc.).

For confidential consideration, please email your resume to Jon Lucchese, Vice President for Permanent Placement Services Practice, at jon.lucchese‹at›roberthalf‹dot›com . THANK YOU!
