Job Description

Job Description

A well-established California litigation boutique is expanding its asbestos defense team and inviting an attorney who enjoys ownership over their cases and steady, sophisticated work. This role offers meaningful autonomy, exposure to complex coordinated litigation, and the flexibility to work hybrid or remote while staying connected to key California venues.

Represented by Mission Recruiting, this opportunity places you in the center of one of the most active asbestos defense practices in the state. The firm is deeply embedded in California 's coordinated asbestos calendars, with a strong presence in Los Angeles , Alameda, and San Francisco . Attorneys here are trusted to run their matters thoughtfully while collaborating closely on strategy when it counts.

Why this role stands out

  • A practice anchored in asbestos and toxic tort defense, with room to gain exposure to additional litigation areas
  • A manageable but active docket that keeps your work interesting and moving
  • Hybrid or remote flexibility with monthly in-person collaboration in Northern or Southern California
  • A collegial environment that values judgment, preparation, and follow-through

What you will be doing

  • Independently managing an active caseload of asbestos matters
  • Handling discovery from start to finish, including written discovery and meet-and-confer efforts
  • Drafting and arguing summary judgment motions
  • Taking plaintiff depositions and preparing matters for trial
  • Monitoring coordinated case orders and maintaining key deadlines
  • Identifying cases that require elevated strategic focus and collaborating with partners on approach
  • What the firm is looking for

  • A background in asbestos defense or closely related toxic tort work, such as silica or other coordinated civil litigation
  • Comfort navigating California coordinated case procedures and CMOs
  • Experience managing complex discovery and multi-party matters
  • Confidence handling depositions and motion practice
  • Active California Bar admission
  • Ability to attend occasional in-person check-ins if working hybrid or remote
  • Compensation and benefits

  • Base salary range of $150,000 to $175,000
  • Multi-layered bonus structure including production, origination, and discretionary bonuses
  • Annual billable target of 1,800 hours
  • Employer-paid medical coverage up to $500 per month with multiple plan options
  • Dental and vision are available
  • Life and long-term disability insurance
  • 401(k) with profit sharing and matching
  • Parental leave benefits
  • Paid federal holidays and vacation time
  • Location flexibility

    The firm prefers a hybrid schedule and is open to remote arrangements for attorneys with strong asbestos experience. Monthly in-person collaboration is expected at either the San Francisco or Chino Hills office. Attorneys based in Northern California are especially well-positioned due to the firm's active Bay Area docket.

    For attorneys who enjoy taking ownership of their work, staying close to the courtroom without being trial-bound, and building long-term credibility in California asbestos defense , this role offers a compelling next step. Mission Recruiting is proud to partner on this search and welcomes confidential inquiries.

    Salary Range : $150,000–$175,000
