Litigation Associate – CA

We are a national plaintiffs’ litigation firm representing individuals and families harmed by corporate wrongdoing. We are currently seeking associate attorneys with a demonstrated commitment to plaintiff-side civil litigation, ideally in asbestos. Personal injury, torts, or product liability experience is preferred as well.

Our work is fast-paced, high stakes, and emotionally compelling. We work closely with clients navigating devastating diagnoses and tragic losses, and we pride ourselves on being relentless advocates in and out of the courtroom. This is a full-time in-office position with frequent travel.

As an Associate Attorney, you will learn all aspects of asbestos litigation and quickly become responsible for handling cases. Case management responsibilities include written discovery, taking and defending depositions, drafting and arguing motions, and trial work as a second chair. Prior experience with these tasks is appreciated, but not required.

Our work involves significant client contact, which brings us into the lives of families going through the most stressful time of their lives. Empathy and the ability to build rapport with people from varied backgrounds are keys to success in this position. Because of this, frequent travel is required.
