We are seeking a motivated Associate Attorney with 3–5 years of litigation experience to join our bad faith and insurance fraud team. The ideal candidate will be licensed in California and capable of managing cases with increasing independence, including discovery, motion practice, depositions, and court appearances. This role offers meaningful mentorship, professional development, and flexibility in a collaborative environment.
Salaries for this position range from $130,000 to $183,000 range, depending upon experience level and agreed-upon minimum hours, with significant bonus opportunities. Compensation and classification are based on the extent of directly relevant legal experience. While candidates with over five years of practice may apply, those without substantial relevant experience in the listed practice areas may be classified at a lower attorney level, with compensation commensurate to that level.
