We are looking for an attorney with 2+ years of experience to join a growing law firm serving community associations in California. This opportunity offers exposure to a broad legal practice that touches contract matters, real property issues, corporate governance, tort claims, fair housing concerns, and insurance-related disputes. The ideal candidate brings strong legal writing, sound analytical judgment, and the confidence to represent clients effectively in both court proceedings and day-to-day counsel.

- Represent community association clients in litigation and advisory matters across a range of legal issues affecting common interest developments.
- Prepare persuasive legal documents, including motions, briefs, pleadings, and other court filings, with close attention to detail and legal strategy.
- Manage discovery activities by drafting requests and responses, reviewing produced materials, and helping develop case positions.
- Communicate directly with clients, opposing counsel, and the court in a detail-focused and confident manner.
- Analyze disputes involving contracts, property rights, governance matters, tort exposure, housing-related issues, and insurance concerns.
- Support case progression from initial assessment through resolution while maintaining required billable hour expectations.
- Contribute to the firm’s expanding practice by delivering responsive legal service and building knowledge in community association law.
- Active license to practice law in California.
- At least 2 years of attorney experience, preferably in civil litigation or closely related legal work.
- Demonstrated ability to draft motions, briefs, pleadings, and other substantive legal documents.
- Experience handling discovery, including written discovery and document review.
