Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Take full ownership of your caseload as the lead attorney and primary client contact — no second-chair roles here.
  • Work fully remote or hybrid on your terms, with only 2 days per week in the West Los Angeles office if you choose hybrid.
  • Earn top-of-market base compensation plus a competitive bonus structure that rewards your results.
  • Join a forward-thinking boutique firm that runs on cutting-edge technology and a culture that is always evolving — no legacy inefficiencies holding you back.
  • Get real courtroom experience — depositions, mediations, hearings, and trials are a genuine part of this role, not a distant promise.
  • Transitioning from civil or family litigation? The firm offers structured, hands-on training to bring you up to speed in probate — they invest in you.
  • Be a known contributor on a tight-knit team of under 50, where your impact is visible and your voice matters.
  • Build expertise in a specialized, high-demand practice area that is intellectually rich and recession-resistant.

Location: This role offers the flexibility to work fully remote or hybrid with just 2 days per week in the West Los Angeles office — giving you the freedom to work the way you do your best work.

Job Description

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.
