Job Description

This is a Real Estate–focused Litigation Associate role. This position is specifically prioritizing real estate disputes (e.g., property, development, landlord-tenant, construction-adjacent matters).

Candidates should have meaningful real estate litigation experience - pure commercial/business litigators without RE exposure are less likely to be competitive.

Requirements

• Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school
• Active membership in the State Bar of California
• Seeking a Litigation Associate with 2-3 years' experience in business litigation.
• Strong working knowledge of the California Code Of Civil Procedure and Evidence Code
• Private law practice experience, with some experience taking responsibility for client matters (with supervision)
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Desire to invest in building a future with a mid-sized law firm

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough legal research and analysis to support case strategies and prepare legal documents
• Draft pleadings, discovery requests, and other legal documents with precision and attention to detail
• Prepare for and engage in settlement negotiations, hearings, and trials to achieve favorable outcomes for clients

Location

This position can be based in our Silicon Valley (downtown San Jose) or Tri-Valley (Pleasanton) office. Travel between locations may be necessary.

We offer our associates a full array of benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and disability insurance, Employee Assistance Program, 401(k), a student loan repayment benefit, paid parental leave, teleworking opportunities, and a no-accrual vacation policy. We also provide both formal and informal training opportunities and encourage professional growth, both as a lawyer and a businessperson.
