Job Description:
Let’s be direct: This is a role for a career trial lawyer who
wants to be in the courtroom defending the institutions that keep
California running. Our client is a premier public sector law firm
that has been a pillar of the California legal landscape for over
40 years. They serve as the primary defense for cities and public
entities in high-stakes civil litigation. From complex tort claims
and dangerous conditions of public property to employment and
municipal law disputes, this is high-impact work that directly
affects local communities. The Reality of the Role The Work: You
will lead civil litigation matters from case inception through
verdict. You aren't just a "paper litigator"—you are a strategist
and an advocate for city governments. The Hours: The target is
1,800 annual billable hours. We aren't interested in the "Big Law"
burnout culture; we want a seasoned professional who can maintain a
steady trial pace without sacrificing their personal life. The
Schedule: You’ll spend the first two weeks in the Orange County
office for onboarding. After that, the firm supports a hybrid model
that provides the flexibility modern attorneys need. The
Requirement: You must have 10 California jury trials to verdict.
This is non-negotiable. Our clients expect a veteran presence in
the well of the court from Day 1. Why Join This Firm? This firm
offers the stability of public law with the compensation and
culture of a top-tier private practice. Retirement: SIMPLE IRA with
3% matching and immediate vesting. Health: Fully paid dental and
vision coverage. Impact: You’ll have a seat at the table with city
leaders, shaping outcomes for the public good while working in a
collaborative, 45 attorney environment that values mentorship.
