Business Litigation Attorney
Career Consulting Partners has teamed up with a reputable law firm that specializes in intricate cases of Business Litigation. We are in search of a skilled attorney who has 3 - 8 years of litigation experience. Our law firm is unique in that our lawyers handle both transactional and litigation work, which is advantageous for individuals seeking to establish a client base. We defend and prosecute cases in Business, Real Estate, Commercial & Construction Law. Our cases are not repetitive and no two cases are the same. This is a great opportunity to grow if you are seeking a challenging practice and if you are a seasoned litigator this is an opportunity to handle cases in the 8-figure range.
However, it is important to note that this role will primarily involve litigation, accounting for approximately 80-85% of the workload. Our diverse practice, which is not cookie-cutter or focused on insurance defense, is currently situated in Torrance, in the South Bay. One-on-one client experience is highly valued, as we cater to clients, companies, and corporations that expect high standards who choose to work with our firm. We offer a team-oriented environment and are seeking an individual who desires substantial hands-on experience in a setting that fosters growth in the legal field. The ideal candidate should have experience working with small firms and be interested in developing a compatible practice, potentially leading to a partnership in our firm. However, please keep in mind that we do not have the resources of a large firm to offer.
