About Us:

Kronenberg Law PC is a leading defense litigation firm located in the Lake Merritt area of Oakland. We have a strong trial practice throughout the state and federal courts in California and have tried cases in the state and federal courts in Texas, Montana, Arizona, Nevada, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Our exciting Practice Areas include litigation defense in personal injury, catastrophic personal injury, professional liability, product liability, premises liability, construction defect, and other statewide practice areas, including California and national sexual abuse cases defending the business entity (not the perpetrator). You will have your own cases to manage and work up. You will handle the client reporting, discovery, motions, hearings, depositions, and trial prep under supervision from the owner. Our attorneys and staff work together in a collaborative and team-oriented environment to obtain top-tier results.

Our small, busy litigation defense firm in the Lake Merritt area of Oakland, CA, seeks an experienced civil litigation attorney with five to 15 years of relevant experience in all phases of insurance defense litigation including case management, motion practice, and discovery, as well as handling hearings, depositions, arbitrations, and trials.

If you have substantive litigation experience and are looking for an opportunity in a growing, collaborative firm, we invite you to apply.

This is a unique opportunity for the right candidate, as you will have a designated case load that allows you to make strategic and case handling decisions. You will interact directly with clients, opposing counsel and the courts, and will have the benefit of working with seasoned attorneys to help with your professional development.
