We are looking for a Transactional or Litigation Attorney to join a firm's office in either the firm's Coachella Valley (Palm Desert) or San Diego (Mission Valley). Either way, this attorney will only commute into the respective office once a week; the role is mostly remote.
The ideal candidate will have both litigation and transactional experience. However, candidates with just one or the other will be considered.
The litigation work is related to real estate, premises liability, or breach of contract issues (discovery, depositions, but hardly any trials). The transactional work is related to real estate, contracts, compliance, or corporate governance.
The position offers work life balance and the chance to work with a humble group of collaborative lawyers.
Perks of Firm:
- Work-life balance firm: mostly remote.
- All-hands roundtable brown bag meeting for an hour every Wednesday, round tabling issues with clients (This is what I’m dealing with, what do you think?”). That meeting it has litigation and transactional attorneys to work together to solve client issues.
- Legal symposium event for clients every year – one in Coachella Valley and one in San Diego. All-day event: food, education, vendor/exhibit halls - and only for our clients! They have between 500-750 people in San Deigo, and 150-250 in Coachella Valley. It’s a big deal!
- “Our attorneys are not aggressive. They are congenial and collegial people. They try to avoid litigation (and the cost) for our clients, seeking a resolution outside of the court if they can. This is not a highly intense environment. We’re calm, cool, and business casual every day!” - COO
- Low billables: Minimum 1620.
- At least 2 years of experience in a litigation or transactional legal practice.
- Interest in real estate law.
- Ability to commute to San Diego or Palm Desert once a week.
- Active bar membership in CA.
- Familiarity with the Davis-Stirling Act is helpful, but not required.
