Ranked a Top Law Firm to Work For | 3–5 Years’ Litigation Experience

Looking to specialize in a fascinating and high-growth area of litigation?

A nationally recognized California-based firm is hiring a driven associate to join its leading Trusts & Estates Litigation team – known for complex, high-value work and a genuinely collaborative, people-first culture.

The Opportunity

You’ll handle sensitive, cross-border disputes involving trusts, estates, fiduciaries, and high-net-worth families. You’ll gain early courtroom exposure, partner mentorship, and access to highly sophisticated work – all while building rare and in-demand litigation expertise.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Elite Training + Early Responsibility – Get on-your-feet experience in depositions, mediations, and contested hearings
• High-Caliber Work – Handle nuanced fiduciary disputes, complex family dynamics, and international estate conflicts
• Outstanding Culture – Nationally recognized for its values, mentorship, and progressive, inclusive workplace
• Hybrid Flexibility – Offices across California; open to flexible arrangements
• Comp + Benefits – Competitive salary, bonuses, full benefits, and real growth paths
• Ideally, 3–5 years’ civil litigation experience in a law firm setting
• Genuine interest in trusts & estates litigation – prior exposure is a plus
• Strong writing, oral advocacy, and client communication skills
• Collaborative, detail-oriented, and eager to develop deep subject matter expertise
