We're particularly interested in attorneys with backgrounds that demonstrate outstanding writing ability, including former judicial law clerks, appellate attorneys, legal writing instructors, former journalists, or others with a proven record of exceptional legal analysis and persuasive writing.

  • Collaborate closely with attorneys across the litigation team to develop case strategy.
  • Manage multiple assignments while meeting aggressive litigation deadlines.
  • Incorporate feedback into written work and continuously improve legal analysis and writing.
  • Proactively communicate with team members, ask questions, and seek additional work when capacity allows.
Required Qualifications
  • Active California Bar license in good standing.
  • 5–10 years of litigation experience.
  • Strong legal research and persuasive writing skills.
  • Experience drafting complex litigation motions and briefs.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Westlaw.

  • Outstanding organizational and time management skills.
Preferred
  • Antitrust litigation experience.
  • Judicial clerkship or experience handling complex commercial litigation.

What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is:
  • An exceptional legal writer who communicates clearly, concisely, and persuasively.
  • Detail-oriented and committed to understanding the underlying law and facts.
  • Comfortable receiving constructive feedback and using it to strengthen their work.
  • Proactive, resourceful, and willing to ask questions when needed.
  • Able to balance multiple priorities while consistently producing high-quality work.
What Makes This Opportunity Unique
  • Work on a landmark antitrust case expected to establish precedent in California law.
  • Join a respected litigation boutique that approaches every matter with a trial-first mindset.
  • Collaborate with a close-knit, highly experienced legal team.
  • Gain exposure to sophisticated legal issues while playing a meaningful role in high-profile litigation.

  • Merit-based annual bonus (based on individual performance and firm financial results)
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and firm holidays
