Job Description Contract Litigation Attorney

– Meaningful Work in

Complex Civil Litigation

(

San Diego, CA

)

Overview Join a highly regarded

San Diego

litigation boutique that is making a real impact in the world of

affordable housing and public interest law . This is a unique opportunity for a

Contract Litigation Attorney

to handle challenging, high-level work while enjoying the flexibility of a contract arrangement—with strong potential for full-time or temp-to-perm placement.

About the Practice The firm's work spans the full spectrum of housing and affordable housing law, representing clients in areas such as:

Federal Affordable Housing Programs

Fair Housing & Homeless Assistance Programs

HUD Lending Programs

Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)

Asset and Property Management

Public Housing & Relocation

Federal Section 8 Rental Assistance

Housing Law Litigation

In addition, the team manages sophisticated real estate, land use, and construction litigation matters, including zoning, subdivision, condemnation, loan documentation, foreclosures, and receiverships.

The Role This role offers the best of both worlds: the depth and sophistication of

complex litigation

with the autonomy of an independent contributor. You'll be trusted to manage your own cases and contribute meaningfully to the firm's impactful housing and real estate work.

Key Responsibilities Handle litigation matters from start to finish, including:

Drafting and arguing motions

Managing discovery and depositions

Conducting legal research and preparing persuasive briefs

Appearing in Superior Court and occasionally Federal District Court

Act as second or first chair in complex matters

Collaborate with senior attorneys while managing your own caseload

Deliver polished, strategic work with minimal supervision

A proactive, organized approach to client service and case management

Compensation & Structure

Contract position with potential for full-time or temp-to-perm transition

work arrangement in

San Diego, CA

Why This Opportunity Stands Out You'll gain access to meaningful, intellectually engaging litigation while working alongside respected housing law experts. For attorneys who value autonomy, impact, and professional growth, this role offers a dynamic path forward.
