What are the responsibilities and job description for the Civil Litigation attorney - Associate Level position at Resiliency LLC?
What we're looking for:
We need motivated civil litigators with 1-20 years of post-bar experience who are ready to roll up their sleeves and do real, meaningful work. Whether you're a junior associate eager to take depositions and own matters from day one, or a seasoned litigator who still loves the hands-on practice of law, we want to hear from you. Direct professional liability defense experience is a plus, but we're open to civil litigators from any practice area who are willing to move into the space.
What you'll do:
- Handle defense-side civil litigation matters including professional liability defense, insurance coverage, business litigation, employment defense, real estate litigation, and construction defect cases
- Take ownership of your caseload — draft pleadings, manage discovery, prepare and argue motions, and drive cases through to resolution
- Run depositions and take matters through mediation, arbitration, and trial preparation
- Represent attorneys, law firms, accounting firms, business managers, directors and officers, brokers, and fiduciaries in complex defense matters
- Work closely with senior attorneys and partners on sophisticated litigation involving legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, insurance bad faith, and complex commercial disputes
- Contribute to a firm responsible for 58 published opinions, including decisions at the U.S. Supreme Court, Ninth Circuit, and California Supreme Court
