Litigation Associate - mostly remote!

Description

We are looking for a Litigation Associate to join a firm's office in either San Diego (Mission Valley) OR the Coachella Valley (Palm Desert). Either way, this Associate will only commute into the respective office once a week; the role is mostly remote.

This role is well suited for an attorney with experience handling disputes involving real estate, contracts, or related civil matters. Some transactional work may also be available! The position offers work life balance and the chance to work with a humble group of collaborative lawyers.

Perks of Firm:

• Work-life balance firm: mostly remote.

• Litigators may cross over into transactional work occasionally (if they want it).

• All-hands roundtable brown bag meeting for an hour every Wednesday, round tabling issues with clients (This is what I’m dealing with, what do you think?”). That meeting it has litigation and transactional attorneys to work together to solve client issues.

• Legal symposium event for clients every year – one in Coachella Valley and one in San Diego. All-day event: food, education, vendor/exhibit halls - and only for our clients! They have between 500-750 people in San Deigo, and 150-250 in Coachella Valley. It’s a big deal!

• “Our litigators are not aggressive. They are congenial and collegial people. They try to avoid litigation (and the cost) for our clients, seeking a resolution outside of the court if they can. This is not a highly intense environment. We’re calm, cool, and business casual every day!” - COO

• Low billables: Minimum 1620.

Requirements

Requirements:

• 2+ years of licensed experience in CA, either litigation or transactional work.

• Civil litigation practice area experience: insurance defense, land use, real estate, or breach of contract experience is best

• Ability to commute to Mission Valley or Palm Desert once a week.
