Must be admitted in California and in good standing. Ideal background includes insurance defense, public entity, or commercial litigation. Minimum of 3+ years of experience. Strong writing and courtroom presence.

We’re a national law firm with a sharp, high-volume litigation group in Irvine that’s looking to add a mid-level associate. This group handles complex civil litigation with a focus on insurance defense, public entity, and commercial disputes — and they’re serious about mentorship, not micromanagement. You’ll get direct access to partners, real cases, and a path to grow — no dead-end “lit support” role here.

They want people who can draft, argue, and carry a matter forward. Hybrid is standard, and the team is known for being down-to-earth and focused on real development, not politics.
