Litigation Associate Attorney
Job Description:
Litigation Associate Attorney (100% Remote - California)
Presented by: Reclatam Recruiting
Salary: $100,000 – $200,000 (DOE)
Practice Area: Plaintiff-Side Personal Injury
Location: 100% Remote (Work from anywhere in CA)
The Opportunity
Are you a self-driven litigator who produces high-quality work without the need for an office environment? We are representing a modern, technology-forward California Personal Injury firm that has eliminated the "commute culture."
This is not a "document review" role. This is a high-level litigation position for an attorney who enjoys the technical side of a case—discovery, pleadings, and procedural strategy—and wants the freedom to manage their desk independently.
Core Responsibilities
- Autonomous Litigation: Manage your own calendar and caseload across all California counties. From Case Management Statements to virtual Zoom appearances, you own the file progression.
- Pleading & Discovery: Draft comprehensive complaints, propound/respond to discovery, and master the "Meet and Confer" process independently.
- Specialized Filings: Handle the nuances of Tort Claim Act notices and public entity litigation with high accuracy.
- Team Synergy: Coordinate virtually with a dedicated paralegal team to ensure discovery responses are timely and case files are "trial-ready."
- Strategy & Research: Tackle complex research projects and draft winning oppositions to dispositive motions.
Candidate Requirements
Active CA Bar License: Must be in good standing.
- Litigation Experience: 4–7 years of California personal injury or civil litigation experience.
- The "Accurate" Mindset: A proven track record of managing a litigation calendar with zero missed deadlines.
- Tech Proficiency: You should be a "power user" of cloud-based case management software and virtual court platforms.
- Communication: Ability to manage and direct support staff remotely while maintaining clear communication with the Managing Partner.
Why This Role is Different
- No Commute, No Office: Reclaim 10+ hours of your week. This role is permanently 100% remote.
- Statewide Practice: Represent clients in every jurisdiction from San Diego to Redding without leaving your home office.
- Modern Growth: Join a firm that values efficiency and technology over "billable hours at a desk."
