Senior Litigation Attorney

About the company

Our client is a law firm.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own a full litigation docket from the first filing through trial, working largely independently with guidance from senior partners. The role calls for polished writing, steady client responsiveness and a defined annual billable-hours commitment.

What you'll do

• Carry civil matters through every stage of the litigation process, from initial pleadings to appearances in court.
• Manage your own docket with limited oversight and respond quickly to client requests.
• Advise on a mix of property-related disputes, insolvency-related matters and post-judgment recovery work.
• Learn a specialized area of practice and its governing statutes by working closely with the managing partners.
• Reach an annual billable-hours goal of 1,800 while keeping written work at a consistently high standard.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• 7+ years of focused litigation experience, including trial-stage work and strong command of day-to-day procedure.
• JD and active California Bar membership.
• Track record of independently handling pleadings, motions, discovery and hearings.
• Background at a firm handling property, association or construction-related disputes.
• Exceptional written advocacy, with a writing sample reviewed during interviews and no tolerance for careless errors.
• Familiarity with property law, organizational governance or recorded community rules and related statutes.
• Self-directed working style: takes feedback on board the first time and delivers drafts that are close to final.
• Based in Southern California (Los Angeles area preferred), available on Pacific hours and able to visit an office occasionally.
• Ability to meet the annual billable-hours requirement.

Bonus points

• Exposure to bankruptcy work for creditors or to collections after judgment.
• Some courtroom trial experience rather than pre-trial work alone.
