The San Francisco Office of Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete, LLP is expanding, and we’re looking for a talented, ambitious litigation attorney to become part of our forward-thinking team. If you enjoy rising to meet challenges and want to hone your legal skills working with leading specialists in California employment law, this is your opportunity to contribute to a vibrant, dynamic legal practice that makes a real impact for our clients! 

The ideal candidate will have 4-8 years of experience developing litigation strategy, supervising litigation teams and vendors, managing client relationships, drafting and responding to discovery and initial pleadings, drafting and arguing motions, as well as conducting witness interviews and taking and defending depositions. This role is for you if you enjoy conducting extensive legal research, formulating litigation strategy, and drafting pivotal motions that will influence high-stakes cases and complex litigation.
