You will be part of a collaborative team handling sophisticated, high-stakes litigation for national and Fortune 500 clients.

The Opportunity

At Segal McCambridge, associates are not siloed or relegated to support roles. From day one, you will play an active role in managing cases, developing strategy, and working directly with experienced trial attorneys who are invested in your growth. You will gain exposure to all phases of litigation, from inception through resolution and trial, while receiving guidance and mentorship from partners with deep experience in silica, toxic tort, and product liability matters.

This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys who want to sharpen their litigation skills, take ownership of their work, and build a long-term career within a growing national firm.

  • Manage an assigned caseload with partner oversight
  • Draft pleadings, motions, and written discovery
  • Conduct legal research and prepare substantive legal analysis
  • Take and defend depositions
  • Participate in mediations and arbitrations
  • Communicate directly with clients and insurance carriers
  • Collaborate with a team of experienced litigators on complex matters

What We’re Looking For

  • Active California bar license
  • At least 1 year of defense litigation experience
  • Deposition experience required
  • Experience with toxic tort, silica, asbestos, or product liability defense preferred
  • Strong legal research, writing, and advocacy skills
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines and competing priorities
  • A proactive mindset and ownership of assignments
  • Strong interpersonal and presentation skills
  • Experience with mediations or arbitrations is a plus

Compensation & Growth

Salary range: $115,000–$175,000 annually, depending on experience.

Segal McCambridge offers competitive compensation, bonus opportunities, and credit for business origination. Associates benefit from clear paths for advancement and the chance to grow within a firm that values initiative, collaboration, and high-quality work.

Benefits

  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Health savings and flexible spending accounts
  • Paid time off and parental leave
  • Life insurance and employee assistance program
  • Professional development assistance
  • Referral and employee discount programs

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.
