  • Take and defend fact and expert witness depositions.
  • Prepare for and participate in hearings, mediations, settlement discussions, and other litigation proceedings.
  • Work directly with law enforcement clients, agency representatives, experts, and witnesses.

  • Strong organizational and case-management abilities.
  • Ability to independently manage litigation matters while working effectively within a team environment.
  • Strong communication and client-relations skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience defending law enforcement agencies or individual officers in civil rights litigation.
  • Experience handling Section 1983 claims and other constitutional claims.
  • Experience with complex civil litigation in state and/or federal court.
  • Experience working directly with government entities or law enforcement clients.
  • Experience managing cases involving excessive force, false arrest, wrongful detention, officer-involved incidents, or related claims.

  • Base Salary: $158,000 - $205,000 annually
  • Annual performance bonus opportunities
  • Billable-hour bonus opportunities
  • Remote work flexibility
  • Comprehensive health insurance benefits
  • 401(k) plan with partial employer matching contribution
  • Professional development and career advancement opportunities

Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and overall fit for the role.

The ideal candidate will have 3-6 years of litigation experience, active California Bar admission, and a strong foundation in constitutional law, civil rights litigation, and law enforcement defense matters.

  • 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.
