Job Details

Litigation Associate | Real Estate Focus | 1700 hours

  2026-04-05     Above the Bar     Santa Rosa,CA  
Description:

A prestigious, long-standing Northern California firm is seeking an experienced Litigator to join their ranks. Known for a high-retention culture and a sophisticated regional practice, this firm offers the complexity of high-stakes litigation with the work-life integration of a mid-sized, community-focused partnership.

The Role

While the core of the desk involves real estate (ownership, commercial leasing, and development), the firm's structure allows for cross-pollination into broader business litigation. This is an ideal transition for a strong generalist looking to anchor their expertise in a stable, high-demand sector.

Candidate Profile

  • Experience: 6+ years of litigation experience.
  • Background: A strong foundation in Commercial Litigation with a specific interest in specializing in Real Estate (direct experience in real estate is a plus, but a proven track record in complex business disputes is highly valued).
  • Capabilities: Full-cycle case management skills. We are looking for an attorney who can independently navigate discovery, formulate trial strategy, and handle hearings with minimal oversight.
  • Credentials: Active and in good standing with the CA State Bar and a JD from an ABA accredited institution.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This firm is recognized for moving away from the "burnout" model of legal practice, offering:

  • 1,700 Billable Target and a production bonus for those who choose to exceed the base billing target.
  • Robust formal and informal mentorship programs
  • A discretionary PTO policy and established teleworking flexibility

Flexible Office Locations

  • Silicon Valley
  • The Peninsula
  • Tri-Valley
