The posting

Segal McCambridge, a premier national litigation firm, is seeking an experienced California Trial Attorney. This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned civil defense litigator with demonstrated first-chair trial experience who is looking to take on significant responsibility and expand their trial practice.

Position Highlights

  • First-Chair Trial Responsibility: Take a lead role in trials and develop and execute case strategy from inception through verdict.
  • Diverse Trial Opportunities: While warranty defense will be a core practice area, attorneys will have opportunities to handle and try other types of civil defense matters in California.
  • Hybrid Work Environment: Enjoy a flexible work arrangement combining remote and in-office work.
  • Professional Growth: Work alongside experienced litigators while continuing to develop sophisticated trial, litigation, and client-management skills.
  • Collaborative Culture: Join a team-oriented environment where attorneys are given meaningful responsibility and supported in their professional development.

What We’re Looking For

  • Active California Bar License and eligibility to practice in California.
  • Demonstrated first-chair trial experience in civil litigation.
  • Substantial California civil defense litigation experience, including responsibility for pleadings, written discovery, depositions, motion practice, court appearances, and case management.
  • Ability to independently manage cases from initial assignment through resolution and trial.
  • Warranty defense litigation experience highly desirable, particularly experience involving the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and related California warranty laws, but not required.
  • Strong oral advocacy, writing, negotiation, and courtroom skills.
  • Proven ability to develop and execute litigation and trial strategy.
  • Excellent judgment, organization, and ability to manage multiple matters and deadlines.
  • Strong client-service and relationship-management skills.
  • Self-starter with an ownership mentality and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.
  • Willingness and ability to travel as necessary for depositions, hearings, mediations, and trials throughout California.
