Job Description

Job Details:

• This position calls for the attorney to run cases with the support of our professional staff and with the mentoring and guidance of the firm's other attorneys as needed, and to work alongside the other attorneys on our larger cases.

• Depending on the attorney's experience and the needs of the particular case, the attorney may be asked to handle any or all of the following tasks: working up cases from intake to trial, which can include conducting detailed research regarding standard of care, causation and damages in both personal injury and medical malpractice cases to determine whether the case is a fit for the office; reviewing and analyzing medical treatment records to assess the nature and extent of injuries including traumatic brain injury, paralysis, birth injury, and wrongful death; assisting in finding appropriate medical and other experts to evaluate potential cases or support existing ones; conducting other non-medical fact investigation regarding liability in cases involving trucking, motor vehicle accident, bike accident, dangerous condition, and product liability claims; drafting offensive and defensive discovery; preparing clients for deposition, along with taking and defending depositions; researching and writing pre-trial motions; drafting demand letters and mediation statements; and fully participating in mediations and trials.

• The firm primarily practices in California state courts, but an important minority of some of our more complex cases are venued in the federal courts as well.

• It is our goal for our new attorney hire(s) to work as independently as possible across as many of the above tasks as their development and experience warrants, and to provide the mentorship and training necessary for less experienced candidates to help reach this goal as quickly as they are able.

Qualifications:

• The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career as a litigation attorney in this rewarding practice area.

• We are willing to consider attorneys with strong general litigation experience either on the plaintiff or defense side of personal injury and/or medical malpractice litigation.

• We will also consider exceptionally qualified recent law school graduates with a strong academic background and solid writing, analytical, and communication skills.

• For all candidates, prior trial experience is not required, but is of course helpful, as would be the ability to speak a second language, particularly Spanish.

• This is a good opportunity for someone who wants to build a career working at a progressive-minded law firm, advocating for clients who really need our help.

• Would like to contribute to the continued long-term success and growth of the firm and be rewarded for that contribution accordingly.

• Open to hiring a more junior lawyer with relevant experience and/or a strong academic background who wishes to learn and grow with our firm.

Compensation :

• Compensation will depend on the attorney's qualifications and experience and could range from $110,000 for entry level to $250,000 annually for a highly experienced candidate. We also offer a bonus program that shares a certain percentage of the firm's profits with all attorneys and staff based on their contribution to the firm's successes. We contribute $600 monthly toward a firm medical plan, the full cost of a dental plan, and offer two weeks of paid vacation, one week of paid sick leave, and paid major holidays.
