We are seeking a civil litigation defense attorney to join our San Francisco office.

If you are passionate about expanding your experience and deepening your expertise, this position may be a perfect fit.

Our benefits include a competitive base salary based on legal experience, paid medical insurance including plans with zero contribution from you, a dental plan, vision insurance, life insurance, short-term disability insurance, and long-term disability insurance. We also offer a 401k plan with employer matching that is vested as soon as you enroll.

In addition to the base salary, we offer a generous bonus program based on annual billing metrics, which is generally prepaid throughout the year.
