  • Support senior attorneys on active litigation matters and trial preparation

Requirements

  • 1–3+ years of civil litigation experience (post-bar)

  • Active and good standing with the California State Bar

  • Personal injury and/or plaintiff-side experience preferred, but not required

  • Strong legal writing, analytical, and organizational skills

  • Ability to manage multiple cases and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

  • Comfortable working on-site in San Francisco five days per week

Why This Opportunity
