Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Join an AV-rated California law firm with a focused, high-caliber practice in real estate litigation, creditor rights, and landlord/tenant law — where your work is complex, meaningful, and consistently in demand
  • Real non-equity partnership track — not a vague promise, but a defined path at a firm actively investing in its next generation of leaders
  • Handle cases from start to trial with genuine autonomy — this is not a document-review role; you'll be in the courtroom and at the negotiating table
  • Manageable billable hour requirements — a firm that genuinely respects life outside the office
  • Commissions paid on business brought to the firm — your book of business is recognized and rewarded
  • Tight-knit team of attorneys and support staff where your contributions shape the culture and direction of the practice
  • Competitive compensation plus full benefits: 401(k) with matching, medical, dental, and paid time off

Location: This is a full-time, on-site position in Aliso Viejo, CA (Orange County). Hybrid remote flexibility may be available over time for the right candidate.

Note: Candidates must have 3+ years of California litigation experience with direct, hands-on involvement in landlord/tenant, unlawful detainer, lender defense, foreclosure, or real estate litigation matters. Active California Bar admission is required. Candidates without this background will not be considered.

About Us

We are an AV-rated California law firm representing secured creditors, investors, and property owners across a focused range of real estate litigation and transactional matters. With offices in Orange County and the San Francisco Bay Area, our practice spans landlord/tenant law, unlawful detainer, lender defense, foreclosure, and creditor bankruptcy. Our partners bring over 50 years of combined experience to a tight-knit, results-driven team that values quality work, client service, and an environment where attorneys can thrive professionally and personally. Confidential Employer.

Job Description

  • Handle real estate litigation matters from inception through trial — including landlord/tenant disputes, unlawful detainer actions, and lender defense cases
  • Apply working knowledge of California rent control law, unlawful detainer procedure, and California Civil Procedure throughout all phases of litigation
  • Navigate state and federal laws governing evictions and lender foreclosures, including CA HOBR, non-judicial foreclosure under Civil Code § 2924, and evictions under CCP § 1161 (preferred but not required)
  • Manage a substantive caseload with independence, meeting deadlines and maintaining high standards of client service
  • Collaborate with a close-knit team of attorneys and support staff in a collegial, professionally rewarding environment
  • Participate in business development and bring client relationships to the firm — book of business enhances partnership prospects
  • Contribute to shaping the practice and culture of the firm — this is a place where motivated attorneys genuinely make an impact

Qualifications

  • Active California Bar admission required
  • 3+ years of California litigation experience, with direct exposure to landlord/tenant, unlawful detainer, lender defense, foreclosure, or real estate litigation
  • Strong command of California Civil Procedure and relevant real estate litigation statutes
  • Courtroom experience and comfort managing matters through trial
  • Ability to manage a full caseload independently with strong organizational and communication skills
  • Small book of business a plus — commission structure rewards origination

Why You Will Love Working Here

This is the rare firm that talks about work-life balance and actually builds it into how they run the practice. Billable hour expectations are deliberately kept manageable so attorneys can have a full life outside the office — and a long, sustainable career inside it. You'll join a small, cohesive team where you're a known contributor, not a number. The non-equity partnership path is real, the autonomy is real, and for the right attorney, the opportunity to shape what this firm becomes is equally real.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
