Job Description
Newport Beach (Hybrid)
Looking for sophisticated litigation work without the high billable expectations? Join an established California law firm offering a 1,500 annual billable requirement, hybrid flexibility, uncapped bonus potential, meaningful trial exposure, and a clear partnership track.
This is an excellent opportunity for a trust litigation attorney—or a commercial, business, or real estate litigator interested in transitioning into probate litigation—to join a collaborative team where attorneys receive hands-on mentorship, gradually build their own caseload, and have opportunities to second-chair trials.
Compensation & Perks
- $150,000–$190,000 base salary
- Negotiable origination bonus
- Uncapped quarterly retention bonus
- Partnership track
- Hybrid schedule after onboarding
- Paid CLEs and bar dues
- Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, and reimbursement benefits
What You'll Do
- Represent clients in trust and estate disputes
- Draft pleadings, motions, and other legal documents
- Advise clients and maintain strong relationships
- Appear in court, mediations, and negotiations
- Develop litigation strategies in collaboration with colleagues
- Stay current on trusts and estates law through continuing education
Qualifications
- J.D. from an accredited law school
- Active California Bar membership in good standing
- Trust litigation experience preferred; commercial, business, or real estate litigators interested in probate litigation are encouraged to apply.
Salary Range: $150,000 - $190,000
