Litigation Associate (2–3 Years)

An established San Francisco boutique is seeking a civil litigation associate with 2 to 3 years of meaningful experience to join its Litigation Department.

The company

This San Francisco-based legal boutique delivers the heavyweight capabilities of a global powerhouse paired with the high-touch service of a premium practice, advising a sophisticated client roster spanning technology companies, investment funds, and public companies on high-stakes advocacy and complex corporate counsel.

Unlike the high-churn, bureaucratic environment of traditional BigLaw, the firm maintains a tight-knit, collegial roster of attorneys with direct partner access, giving clients day-to-day strategic counsel from seasoned partners rather than having complex matters handed off entirely to junior associates.

The role

The attorney will work on a variety of substantive litigation matters including complex litigation, trust disputes, corporate and partnership disputes, contract disputes, and intellectual property disputes.

Meaningful litigation experience includes drafting pleadings and motions, drafting and responding to written discovery, and managing deadlines and case schedules. Successful candidates will have demonstrably superior legal research and writing skills and superior academic credentials from nationally recognized law schools.

Successful attorneys can look forward to a rewarding practice where enthusiasm, hard work, community involvement, and legal acumen truly are appreciated.

Compensation Compensation is in a broad six-figure range, commensurate with years and type of experience, education, and other factors.
