Litigation

About the job

An experienced real estate 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 ownership of matters from initial case development through resolution.

The practice handles a range of complex litigation, with real estate, eminent domain, and public entity experience particularly valuable. Candidates do not need to bring experience in every area. Instead, strong litigation fundamentals, excellent research and writing skills, and the ability to independently manage active matters are central to the position.

Litigation & Case Management Responsibilities

Represent clients in complex civil litigation matters.

Handle disputes involving real estate and related issues as assigned.

Conduct detailed legal research and develop case strategies.

Draft pleadings, motions, memoranda, briefs, and other substantive legal documents.

Propound and respond to written discovery.

Review and analyze documents, evidence, and other case materials.

Prepare for and participate in depositions.

Manage litigation deadlines and maintain organized case files.

Communicate with clients regarding case developments and strategy.

Work with opposing counsel, experts, witnesses, and other parties throughout litigation.

Assist with settlement strategy and preparation for mediation or other alternative dispute resolution proceedings.

Prepare matters for hearings and trial.

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

Collaborate with other attorneys and legal professionals on complex matters.

Real Estate Litigation Attorney Experience

The real estate litigation attorney will work on a varied litigation docket, making strong substantive litigation experience more important than a narrowly defined practice background.

Experience involving real estate disputes or eminent domain matters is highly valued but not required. Attorneys with public entity experience are also encouraged to apply.

Candidates should be comfortable managing multiple active matters and taking responsibility for substantive assignments. More experienced attorneys should demonstrate increasing independence in case strategy, discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial preparation.

3–9 years of litigation experience.

Active California Bar membership in good standing.

Strong civil litigation background.

Real estate litigation experience preferred.

Eminent domain experience is a plus.
