What are the responsibilities and job description for the Haight Brown & Bonesteel LLP – Associate Attorney (4–7 Years of Experience) Full-Time, In-Office Position (Los Angeles) position at Haight Brown & Bonesteel?
Haight Brown & Bonesteel LLP is seeking an experienced litigation associate with 4–7 years of civil defense litigation experience to join our downtown Los Angeles office. This is a full-time, in-office position; we are not seeking applicants who want to work remotely. Instead, we are looking for candidates who are eager to build a long-term career at the firm and grow into partnership within four years (potentially sooner) through consistent performance, leadership, and contribution.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter, able to work autonomously, and eager to learn what it takes to prepare a case for trial and second-chair by handling a handful of witnesses. We seek someone who is not just looking for a job but is committed to developing the skills and leadership qualities necessary for partnership. The candidate must have a demonstrated ability to manage all phases of litigation, including taking and defending depositions, particularly of plaintiffs and expert witnesses, drafting and responding to discovery and pleadings, preparing and arguing motions, managing case files independently, and must be willing to travel to northern California offices when necessary. Strong research and writing skills are a must, and the candidate must have the ability to prioritize and handle multiple cases in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Haight is a well-established California law firm with offices throughout the state. Our culture emphasizes collaboration and open communication, transparency in career development and growth opportunities, work-life balance that supports long-term success, and professional development with a clear partnership track.
Base salary range: $150,000 – $180,000 per year with an annual $20,000 bonus for those who meet the firm’s quarterly billable hour requirements.
We offer a competitive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life insurance and flexible spending accounts.
Salary : $20,000 - $180,000
