Litigation

About the job

An experienced construction litigation attorney is needed to handle sophisticated disputes for a Los Angeles-based litigation practice. This position is ideal for an attorney with three to nine years of litigation experience who is ready to take meaningful responsibility for cases from initial development through resolution.

The practice handles a range of complex civil litigation, with construction and public entity experience particularly valuable. Candidates do not need to bring experience in every area. Strong litigation fundamentals, excellent research and writing skills, and the ability to effectively manage multiple active matters are central to the position.

Construction & Civil Litigation Responsibilities

Manage cases from inception through resolution with appropriate supervision based on experience.

Experience handling construction disputes is preferred and will be particularly valuable for candidates who have worked with construction contracts, project disputes, contractors, owners, developers, or other parties involved in construction matters.

Public entity experience is also beneficial but is not required. Attorneys with strong general litigation backgrounds may be considered if they demonstrate excellent research, writing, discovery, and case-management skills.

More experienced candidates should be prepared to take greater ownership of case strategy, depositions, motion practice, client communication, and trial preparation.
