Associate Attorney

If you’re a driven Associate Attorney looking for real case responsibility, hands-on experience, and a clear path for growth — this is where you step up.

A well-established California-based defense litigation firm in Woodland Hills is seeking a mid-level Associate Attorney to take on meaningful work across a range of complex matters. This is a full-time, in-office role designed for attorneys who want to develop their litigation skills while working alongside experienced trial lawyers.

What You’ll Own

• Direct involvement in cases from early strategy through resolution

• Drafting pleadings, discovery, motions, and legal briefs

• Representing clients in court, arbitration, and mediation

• Participating in depositions, client meetings, and settlement negotiations

• Collaborating closely with senior attorneys on case development

This is not a back-office role — this is hands-on litigation experience.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–10 years of litigation experience

• Background in personal injury, construction defect, or commercial litigation preferred

• Experience in a law firm environment with billable hour requirements

• Strong research, writing, and communication skills

• Active California Bar membership in good standing

• Courtroom experience is a plus

• Detail-oriented with a collaborative mindset

Compensation & Benefits

• $120,000 – $175,000 base (DOE)

• Quarterly performance-based bonuses

• Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, FSA, life insurance, 401(k))

• Paid time off

• Mentorship and long-term career advancement

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Meaningful case responsibility early on

• Direct mentorship from experienced litigators

• Diverse practice areas and complex matters

• Clear path for professional growth

• Stable, well-respected litigation firm

If you’re ready to move beyond support work and grow into a stronger, more capable litigator — let’s connect.
