The Opportunity

Are you a seasoned litigator who is looking for a fulfilling work environment? Can you step into active cases, own them, and deliver results with minimal supervision?

We are a fast-growing business litigation and employment defense law firm seeking an experienced Business & Civil Litigation Attorney to join our team on a contract-to-hire basis. This role is ideal for a litigator who can step in immediately, manage active matters independently, and demonstrate long-term fit for a permanent role. While this role has a clear path to long-term placement, we will also consider strong candidates seeking a shorter-term engagement.

We were recently named a Top-Rated Workplace in Southern California by the Los Angeles Times and are committed to developing attorneys who value excellence, accountability, and results.
