Job Description
I am working with a boutique firm in El Segundo, CA that is growing and looking to add an Associate Attorney to their practice. A successful candidate is someone who enjoys developing case strategy, litigation, is fast-paced and has a high risk tolerance. They are looking for someone who has drive and appreciates the complexities of the law. This is not a routine, every case is the same type of firm. They are not necessarily seeking someone who wants to sit back and handle law and motion work. If you are eager to run cases and team up with the managing partners on litigation strategy and thrive in an environment where you can challenge each other and be intellectually stimulated, this may be a position for you.
A majority of the team does work on-site, but they understand that people may reside outside of the El Segundo area. They would like their teammate to be in office three days per week to collaborate.
The managing partners are all X-Big Law, and they are not about the 2400 hour life. They ask for 1600 billable hours. If you bill more than that, you will be paid a $ bonus per each hour billed. They throw in discretionary bonuses as they feel fit too. The firm has low turnover and a majority of the team has worked together for 10+ years.
About the role-
* Working with partners handling business litigation, real estate litigation, employment litigation and advise/ counseling and some insurance coverage
* 1600 hours- hourly bonuses + discretionary bonuses
* Hybrid- starting ideally one month on-site then three days at home, two at home
* Laid back in-office culture-if you need to leave early for a kids soccer game or appointment, they aren't going to micromanage you
* Would like someone with one year of insurance defense litigation experience
* Health, monthly marketing allowance, MCLE's, parking, bar dues, % originations
* Must have graduated law school 2022 or before
* Candidate is intrinsically motivated
* JD from ABA law school
* Admitted in CA- in good standing
Compensation will depend on a combination of education and experience. Full benefits and bonus structure in place.
