A Pre Litigation Attorney handles legal disputes before they reach the courtroom. They investigate claims, gather evidence, negotiate settlements, and communicate with opposing parties to resolve issues outside of court. Their goal is to achieve favorable outcomes for clients while avoiding costly and time-consuming litigation. If a settlement cannot be reached, they may prepare cases for trial before handing them off to a litigation attorney.

Pre Litigation Attorneys require a Juris Doctor (JD) degree, active bar admission, and expertise in legal research, drafting pleadings, and case evaluation. Familiarity with legal billing software, case management systems, and document databases is commonly expected. Strong negotiation skills, analytical thinking, and effective written and verbal communication help attorneys excel when interacting with clients and opposing counsel. These competencies are essential to efficiently managing cases, building persuasive arguments, and resolving disputes before trial.

What does a typical day look like for a Pre Litigation Attorney?

A typical day for a Pre Litigation Attorney involves reviewing new client intakes, drafting demand letters and legal documents, conducting legal research, and negotiating settlements with insurance adjusters or opposing counsel. Attorneys frequently communicate with clients to update them on case progress and collaborate closely with paralegals and support staff to organize case files and gather evidence. The role also requires periodic court filings and participation in mediation or settlement conferences. This mix of independent work and teamwork provides variety and helps develop strong advocacy and negotiation skills.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated attorney interested in building and developing strong litigation skills representing financial institutions in a high-volume, fast-paced environment. Duties include file management, motion practice, courtroom opportunities, depositions, alternative dispute resolution, and trial preparation. We offer a supportive and congenial team environment balanced with autonomy and hands-on experience guided by partners with decades of litigation experience. The ideal candidate will be self-motivated and eager to take ownership of a caseload but also have a team-oriented approach to work and exhibit good interpersonal communication skills.
Candidates with experience from a regional, national, or outstanding local law firm are preferred. Excellent writing, oral advocacy skills, and academics are required. Judicial clerkship experience is a plus. The successful candidate should have the following experience and/or skills:

  • Responsibility in analyzing, organizing, and drafting pleadings (e.g., demurrers, motions to dismiss, motions to strike, discovery motions, summary judgment motions)
  • Outstanding attention to detail;
  • Exposure to e-discovery and fact development;
  • Propounding and responding to written discovery;
  • Interest in taking and defending depositions;
  • Exposure to appearances in state and federal courts in case management conferences, motions and other pre-trial matters;
  • Familiarity with (R)FDCPA, FCRA, TCPA, UCC, EFTA, TILA, and UCL/UDAP; and
  • Strategic and analytical skills in addressing client challenges, both legally and economically.
Stinson has approximately 150 litigation attorneys (and over 450 total attorneys across the country) and represents clients in state, federal, tribal and other courts and tribunals throughout the U.S. We also often resolve matters without litigation by conducting investigations, engaging in pre-suit negotiations and employing alternative dispute resolution procedures such as arbitration and mediation. Active California license is required.
At Stinson LLP, we are committed to the success of our attorneys. We are equally committed to providing competitive, affordable health and wellness benefits to help take care of yourself and your family, including:
  • Medical, dental, and vision health plans
  • Medical savings accounts
  • Firm-provided Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Wellness Program

  • Short- and long-term disability benefits
  • Generous paid time off for holidays, vacation, bereavement, jury duty, and attorney leave for various reasons, including birth or adoption of a child and personal and/or family health; generous paid military leave
  • Paid bar dues, approved bar association memberships and CLE expenses
  • Excellent work-life programs, including service bonuses, back-up child and elder care, and employee discount program

Our attorney compensation structure has two components: (1) a base salary and (2) a discretionary merit bonus based on performance. The base salary range for this role is $150,000 - $185,000. A signing bonus may be available. The salary range for this position is based on a variety of factors, including experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
