Trial Attorney

This is a mission-driven consumer protection law firm that’s built its reputation in the courtroom—not at the negotiating table. They’re looking for a battle-tested Trial Attorney who’s comfortable in high-stakes litigation and ready to take files across the finish line. This isn’t a training ground—it’s a place for proven winners who live for trial and have the receipts to back it up.

What You’ll Do:

• First-chair jury trials with support from a second-chair team
• Take and defend key depositions (PMQs, senior execs, experts, etc.)
• Prepare trial strategy, jury instructions, trial briefs, and exhibit lists
• Collaborate closely with leadership, appellate counsel, and internal support teams
• Represent consumers in complex litigation under statutes like the Song-Beverly Act
• Attend firm-led trainings and continue honing your trial craft

Must-Haves:

• 10+ years of civil litigation experience (will consider 5–7 for true rockstars)
• First-chair jury trial wins—this is non-negotiable
• Deep comfort in the courtroom: persuasive, strategic, composed under pressure
• California Bar admission in good standing
• Local to the Century City/Beverly Hills area—must be able to commit to 5 days/week in office

Nice-To-Haves:

• Former prosecutor or ADA background (high-stakes criminal trial work translates well here)
• Experience with consumer protection, business litigation, or complex civil litigation
• Spanish bilingual skills

This Role Offers:

• A generous and performance-driven bonus structure
• $5K for taking any case to trial
• $10K for any jury trial win
• $25K for a jury win that beats the highest 998
• Beautiful office space
• A courtroom-focused firm that lets you do what you do best—win trials. Discovery and document review are handled by dedicated teams.

Who Thrives Here: Former prosecutors, seasoned litigators, and trial attorneys with something to prove. If you're burnt out on public sector pay but still want to feel the adrenaline of high-stakes work—this could be your next home. It's intense, it’s demanding, and it’s 100% focused on trial.

This is not the right role if:

• You’re looking to ease into trial work
• You want a hybrid or remote setup
• You prefer lower-pressure litigation environments
