Civil Litigation Attorney - 2+ Years of Experience
Location: Walnut Creek, CA (hybrid flexibility available)
A well-established California litigation firm is seeking a Civil Litigation Attorney (2+ years of experience) to join its growing practice. The firm handles a wide variety of civil litigation matters, including appellate work, business and commercial disputes, construction defect, real estate, general liability defense, transportation, and estate/trust litigation.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated attorney to gain broad litigation experience, work alongside seasoned trial lawyers, and take on meaningful case responsibilities in a collaborative environment.
Key Responsibilities

• Manage a diverse caseload that may include:

• Business and commercial litigation

• Construction defect and real estate disputes

• General liability, premises liability, and transportation defense

• Estate and trust litigation
• Appellate briefs and oral advocacy
• Draft pleadings, motions, discovery responses, and appellate briefs.
• Conduct witness discovery, depositions, mediations, and court appearances.
• Collaborate with senior attorneys on case strategy, trial prep, and client communications.
  

Qualifications

• J.D. and active California bar license.
• Minimum of 2 years of civil litigation experience.
• Strong legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills.
• Ability to manage cases across different phases of litigation.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and teamwork skills.
• Appellate or construction/general liability experience a plus.
  

Why This Role Stands Out

• Exposure to a wide variety of civil litigation and appellate matters.
• Opportunity to take on substantive responsibility early in your career.
• Collaborative firm culture that values efficiency, responsiveness, and professional growth.
• Hybrid work flexibility.
