Personal Injury Litigation Attorney (In-Office) | Mid-Wilshire, Los Angeles

About the role

We are looking for an associate attorney who can own a litigation caseload and move cases forward without day-to-day supervision. You will work directly with the founding attorney and alongside our case managers, paralegals, and pre-litigation team. You will be trained hands-on in our premises liability approach, where the fight is about liability rather than injuries.

Responsibilities:

• Manage a caseload of plaintiff personal injury litigation matters on your own, from filing through resolution.
• Develop case strategy, with a focus on proving liability.
• Draft and file complaints, pleadings, motions, oppositions, and meet-and-confer letters.
• Handle every phase of written discovery: interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admission.
• Review discovery responses for deficiencies and case strategy.
• Take and defend party depositions.
• Meet every California court rule, procedure, hearing, and deadline.
• Supervise paralegals and litigation staff on your cases.

Requirements

Must-Have

• 5 years of plaintiff-side personal injury litigation experience.
• Able to handle an auto accident case A to Z without supervision.
• Strong command of California civil procedure and discovery.
• Experience drafting pleadings, discovery, and motions yourself, rather than handing that work off to paralegals.
• Active California State Bar license.
• Stable work history.

Nice-to-Have

• Premises liability experience. It is not required, because we will train you.
• Arbitration and mediation experience.

Not required:trial experience.
