REMOTE in CA - Trial Attorney

Robert Half • San Diego, CA • 3h ago

Description

A national law firm is seeking an experienced Senior Attorney to join the California team remotely. This position focuses on civil litigation, primarily involving foreclosure-related cases and defense litigation for institutional banks. The ideal candidate will have extensive trial experience and the ability to manage cases independently, while also offering guidance to associates who are newer to the profession.

Responsibilities of Role:

Working up cases and taking them to trial as needed (90%)

High volume and fast paced. It's not focused on discovery. There are not many depositions (though depos are helpful because they examine evidentiary issues).

Supervising 3 associates (10%)

These associates don't know how to determine if experts are needed, or when to do depositions at the right time. They need guidance if/when they get closer to trial.

Details of Role:

Hours: 1920.

Profile that would be a fit:

Someone who is comfortable self-directing. "We will hand a case to them that's a mess they'll need to figure it out."

Maybe they started out as a prosecutor/PD/got their trial experience there then turned to civil lit - that's fine. But jury trial experience on the civil side is ideal.

Someone who knows how to bill their time.

Perks of Company:

They will teach on the practice area of law.

"Our various departments collaborate often, to ensure clients are represented well. We do not compete within our firm for clients." - partner

Opportunity to try cases!

Opportunity to supervise/mentor associates!

Mentorship cross-departmentally.

Remote within CA!

Requirements

Someone who has taken cases to jury trial.

CA bar license and living in CA. The trials will be in person, and occasionally this attorney may travel throughout CA for them. Depos are mostly still video.

Knowledge of billing time.

Someone who is comfortable self-directing their own cases, and supervising cases of associates.

If they haven't worked as a formal supervisor, should have experience mentoring less-tenured associates.

Salary is contingent upon fluency with the requirements above.
