Senior Counsel

The Orange County (Aliso Viejo) office of WSHB, a national civil litigation defense firm, is looking for senior counsel applicants with at least 5-8 years of experience for its expanding civil litigation group. You must be licensed in California- no exceptions. The ideal candidate will run cases with little supervision. A background in civil litigation with some experience in trial work is a plus but not necessary. Experience in insurance defense is highly preferred.

As the ‘go to’ litigation firm for dozens of domestic and international insurance carriers, as well as many large private clients, WSHB attorneys handle a wide-spectrum of matters. On a daily basis, associates work closely with lead attorneys on all phases of litigation, from rapid response investigations following catastrophic losses, case evaluation and reporting, discovery and depositions, through trial presentation, with an emphasis on strategic thinking to meet client objectives. Recognized nationally for its commitment to diversity and an inclusive atmosphere, WSHB provides attorneys a flexible work from home policy and the opportunity to collaborate with lead attorneys across offices as well as across a variety of practice areas. Excellent research and writing skills are a must. Experience in insurance defense litigation and general familiarity with carrier billing and reporting guidelines is preferred. Join an innovative firm and team of attorneys with a reputation for professional excellence that offer the flexibility and casualness of the modern legal practice.

• A competitive salary package, including the potential for bonuses
