Job Description

Job Description

Join a respected Southern California law firm dedicated exclusively to representing public entities .

If you're passionate about public service and want to make an impact on California communities, this is your opportunity to do meaningful legal work while building a long-term career. Two positions are now open—one for a Junior-Level Attorney and one for a Senior-Level Attorney —both offering the chance to work on high-impact litigation and advisory matters for city governments, law enforcement agencies, and other public institutions .

About the Opportunity

  • You'll be part of a well-established Fullerton -based team that has built its reputation by defending municipalities, public agencies, and police departments throughout California . Attorneys here gain unique exposure to civil rights and 1983 litigation, tort defense, employment issues, and class-action claims—the kind of work that keeps communities functioning and public institutions accountable.
  • This is a place where attorneys are trusted early, supported by mentorship, and encouraged to take ownership of their cases. Junior attorneys have the opportunity to gain first-chair trial experience, while senior attorneys can fast-track toward a non-equity partnership.

What You'll Do

  • Defend police management and other public entities in litigation, including complex civil rights and tort cases
  • Handle all aspects of litigation, including law and motion, depositions, and court hearings
  • Advise municipalities and attend city council meetings as part of client representation
  • Manage discovery, review extensive medical records, and develop case strategies
  • Work closely with clients and colleagues in a supportive, team-driven environment

    • What You Bring

  • Experience representing public entities or municipalities
  • Background in civil rights, 1983 litigation, or insurance defense
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to thrive in a collaborative environment with public-sector clients
  • Must reside within approximately 25 miles of Fullerton (fully remote after onboarding)

    • Compensation & Benefits

  • Junior-Level Attorney : $140,000 – $165,000
  • Senior-Level Attorney : $200,000 – $225,000
  • Bonuses for new client origination or exceeding billable minimums
  • Comprehensive benefits : Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and IRA with company match
  • Low billable target : 1,800 hours per year
  • Partnership track available after two years with the firm
  • Flexible hybrid / remote schedule following a brief onboarding period

    • Why You'll Love Working Here

  • This firm values both professional excellence and personal balance. The culture is collegial, down-to-earth, and built on mentorship. With regular team lunches, flexible scheduling, and a genuine respect for work-life harmony, attorneys here enjoy a long tenure and a sense of purpose in what they do.

    • Ready to build a meaningful legal career serving California 's public institutions?

    Mission Recruiting, one of the nation's leading legal recruiting firms, is proud to represent this opportunity.

    Apply today to learn more about how your experience can make a difference.

    Salary Range : $140,000 - $225,000
