They are looking for an experienced attorney who can independently manage sophisticated litigation matters, develop strategy, advise clients, take and defend depositions, handle substantive hearings and mediations, and move cases efficiently from inception through trial or resolution.

- Negotiate sophisticated transactions and/or settlements
- Help maintain and strengthen client relationships
- Participate in business development and growth of the practice where appropriate
Qualifications:
- Active California Bar membership in good standing
- 10+ years of meaningful civil litigation experience
- Demonstrated ability to independently manage litigation matters
