Helton Law Group is a boutique healthcare litigation firm focused exclusively on disputes involving healthcare reimbursement, managed care, and revenue cycle matters. For more than 30 years, we have represented hospitals—day in and day out—advocating for fair payment for the care they provide.


Our practice is mission driven and built around advocacy. Our attorneys solve real-time, real-world problems for our clients and use their litigation skills and strategy to have meaningful impact. As healthcare reimbursement issues grow increasingly complex, we are expanding our bench and our tools to better serve our clients and support a healthy healthcare system.


The Role:

We are seeking Trial Attorneys at the Associate to Senior level to handle complex healthcare litigation matters from strategy through resolution. Depending on experience, attorneys in this role will manage discrete matters or lead litigation teams while working closely with firm leadership, clients, and opposing counsel on cases that matter.


This role is ideal for attorneys who value trial advocacy, enjoy complex subject matter, and want to use—or continue to build—their litigation skills in ways that have a real and lasting impact on healthcare providers.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Handle healthcare arbitrations and litigation matters from early strategy through resolution
  • Take and defend depositions; participate in mediations and settlement discussions
  • Draft motions, briefs, and other advocacy-focused filings
  • Collaborate with clients, expert witnesses, and colleagues to develop effective case strategies
  • Use litigation technology and AI-driven tools to support trial preparation and case management
  • For senior attorneys: lead case teams and mentor developing attorneys
  • Contribute to the firm’s collaborative, trial-focused culture


Qualifications:

  • Active California bar license in good standing
  • Litigation experience commensurate with level
  • Associate-level candidates: prior litigation experience preferred
  • Senior-level candidates: significant trial and/or hearing experience, typically 10 years
  • Strong writing, oral advocacy, and analytical skills
  • Strong desire to advocate for healthcare providers and contribute meaningfully to cases that impact the delivery of care
  • Personal drive to grow professionally and personally, with a commitment to developing trial and advocacy skills
  • Comfortable working with technology, complex subject matter, and evolving litigation tools
  • Self-starter with interest in building deep expertise and contributing to the thoughtful use of AI and technology in modern trial advocacy
  • Ability to work collaboratively while taking ownership of assigned matters


Preferred Experience:

  • Healthcare litigation, managed care disputes, or revenue cycle matters
  • Trial or arbitration experience across the case lifecycle


Why Helton Law Group:

  • A focused healthcare litigation practice with decades of institutional knowledge
  • Meaningful responsibility and hands-on advocacy experience at all levels
  • Access to modern litigation technology and AI tools
  • An environment that supports professional growth, skill development, mentorship, and collaboration
