About The Firm
Join a growing 2‑attorney plaintiff‑side personal injury law firm in Century City that is rapidly expanding and deeply committed to high‑stakes litigation.
The firm handles a robust caseload of 150–200 new personal injury matters per month, with 150 active cases involving more than $400K in medicals and backed by commercial insurance. Attorneys review files, select the strongest matters, and aggressively pursue them through litigation.
The firm is well‑capitalized; the current upcoming trial already has $300K invested in expert and trial costs, and leadership is committed to proper case funding. With a legal team of 2 attorneys and 8 paralegal/litigation assistants, attorneys receive at least 1 dedicated paralegal plus additional legal support.
This is an opportunity for a lawyer with 5+ years of experience specifically in PI litigation, or a senior trial attorney who thrives in the courtroom, wants to take ownership of a strong pipeline of catastrophic injury cases, and enjoys working with a close‑knit, results‑driven team. You’ll work directly with firm leadership on 7‑ and 8‑figure matters, supported by dedicated paralegal assistance and experienced co‑counsel.

- Manage 25–30 active litigation cases at a time, focusing on high‑value, complex matters (goal: 10+ settlements annually).
- Oversee pre‑trial preparation, including expert engagement, evidence organization, and trial exhibits.
- For a Trial Attorney, serve as first chair (goal: 3–5 trials per year).
- Mentor and collaborate with litigation support staff and paralegals assigned to your caseload.
- Communicate effectively with clients, opposing counsel, and team members to ensure top‑tier case outcomes.
- Drive settlement negotiations and handle mediation and post‑resolution processes.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in personal injury litigation; for the Trial Attorney, extensive courtroom and trial experience.
- Proven record of success in jury trials and high‑value settlements.
- Strong strategic, organizational, and client communication skills.
- California Bar admission in good standing.
