Associate Litigation Attorney

Are you ready to take your litigation career to the next level while maintaining a flexible work-life balance?

At MBK Chapman, we’re more than just a law firm—we’re a close-knit team of trailblazers who passionately advocate for our clients. We offer a dynamic environment where you can lead your own caseload and have the independence to shine, while being fully supported by an innovative and collegial group of attorneys. We pride ourselves on having a great work-life balance, while representing each of our clients at the highest leve.

What makes this role special?

You’ll enjoy:

• Autonomy and ownership—run your own cases with the freedom to strategize, argue motions, engage in discovery, and shape client outcomes.
• Monthly performance bonuses—your hard work is recognized, rewarded, and appreciated. We have a very low monthly billable requirement and reward you for billed time that exceeds the minimums. Yet you won't have to wait until the end of the year to receive the benefits of your hard work.
• Growth potential—our team is growing, and we’re committed to your development.

At MBK Chapman, we believe in working hard, but also having fun along the way. We embrace cutting-edge legal technology and administrative support, so you can focus on what you do best—practicing law. Plus, our emphasis on balance means that while you’re zealously advocating in and out of court, you’ll also have time for what matters outside of work.

About You:

• You’re a dependable hard working attorney with 1+ years of litigation experience, eager to manage your own caseload and drive results.
• You excel in written and oral advocacy, and have a sharp eye for detail and strategy.
• While trial experience is a plus (but by no means necessary), your prowess in discovery, motion practice, and client negotiations will be key to your success here.
• You’re licensed to practice in California.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary: $125,000 - $225,000 (commensurate with experience).
• Generous bonuses—monthly incentives for high productivity.
• Comprehensive benefits package: 401(k), health insurance, vacation, and more.
• A fun, relaxed environment where we prioritize professional growth and camaraderie.

At MBK Chapman, you won’t just be a cog in the machine—you’ll be a valued member of our growing legal family. Whether you’re a seasoned litigator or looking to take that next career leap, we want to hear from you!
