What We're Looking For

Required

• Active California Bar membership
• 2-7+ years of litigation experience
• Strong academic credentials
• Excellent writing, research, and advocacy skills

• Federal court experience
• California residency

If you're looking for a litigation role where your practice won't be confined to a single courthouse, read on.

We are a nationally respected litigation firm with a longstanding reputation for handling sophisticated insurance, reinsurance, and commercial disputes. For decades, clients have trusted us with their most significant coverage disputes, catastrophic-loss claims, complex business litigation, and high-exposure matters spanning jurisdictions across the country. Our attorneys regularly appear in federal and state courts nationwide and are known for delivering strategic, practical solutions in some of the industry's most challenging cases.

As our California practice continues to grow, we are seeking a Litigation Associate Attorney (2-7+ years) for our Emeryville office.

This opportunity is ideal for attorneys who genuinely enjoy litigation and want to build a practice that extends beyond their local market. You'll work on matters throughout the United States, collaborate with highly regarded litigators, and gain meaningful responsibility in sophisticated cases from the outset.

What You'll Handle

• Complex litigation in federal and state courts across the country
• Insurance coverage analysis and litigation
• First-party and third-party insurance disputes
• Declaratory judgment actions
• Catastrophic-loss and high-exposure claims
• Motion practice, legal research, and brief writing
• Depositions, hearings, mediations, and arbitrations
• Direct client interaction and litigation strategy development

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Our firm combines the sophistication of a premier national litigation practice with the culture and accessibility of a collaborative midsized firm. We have built a reputation representing the insurance industry in complex coverage and litigation matters and are regularly trusted with matters involving major losses, intricate policy issues, and multi-jurisdiction disputes.

Attorneys here receive:

• Meaningful courtroom and litigation experience
• Direct access to partners and clients
• Nationally visible matters
• Significant responsibility and autonomy
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial environment
• Long-term growth opportunities with a respected litigation platform

Flexible Hybrid Schedule

We believe talented attorneys can do exceptional work from a variety of locations.

This role offers a highly flexible hybrid structure. Candidates who live outside the immediate Bay Area are encouraged to apply. In many cases, attorneys who reside farther from Emeryville need only be in the office approximately once per month, while remaining fully integrated into the team.

Compensation

Salary Range: $140,000 - $225,000+

Compensation will be commensurate with experience, credentials, and demonstrated expertise. Exceptional candidates with significant insurance coverage and litigation experience may be considered above the posted range.
