Business Litigation Attorney - Contract

Christina Litherland Consulting - Career Coaching, Resume Writing, Outplacement, and Recruiting
San Jose, CA Contractor
POSTED ON 4/18/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/17/2026

California law firm, Dracup & Patterson, is looking for a Business Litigation Attorney with a minimum of 10 years of experience in business litigation to start immediately - drafting complaints, motions, discovery, responding to discovery, and working with clients directly.


All work can be done from your location unless you have a court appearance where you determine your chance of success is increased by a personal appearance (or the motion is high value or critical to the case). You must be willing to work directly with clients. It is critical that you respond rapidly to client inquiries and communicate well with clients assigned to you.


We work as a team and advise and support as needed (if you need help drafting documents, you can share that work with another attorney or our paralegals), but expect you to be the main point of contact for the client, the court, and opposing counsel.


Who we are:

Dracup & Patterson has been handling legal matters since 1990 throughout California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento. Our experienced attorneys are highly experienced and specialize in a broad range of practice areas.

We work with our clients to get the best results. We offer a steady stream of cases, pay whether the client pays or not, and pay via wire transfer within hours of invoicing.


Minimum Qualifications

· Membership in good standing in the CA Bar

· Minimum of 10 years of business litigation experience

· Exceptional litigation, writing, and legal research skills

· Strong personal work ethic and ability to organize time, manage diverse activities, and meet critical deadlines with minimal supervision

· Strong interpersonal skills and an ability to work collaboratively with a dynamic team

· Ability to simultaneously manage multiple projects while maintaining a firm grasp of individual project details

· Willingness to travel for on-site work when there are court appearances


Compensation:


Pay range is highly competitive ($150-$200 /hour) and depends on experience.


Please note: CL Consulting is not the employer; we have been contracted to manage the recruitment process for this position.

Salary : $150 - $200
