Litigation Attorney (part-time, remote)

Our boutique law firm client is seeking an experienced Litigation Attorney to provide temporary, part-time coverage during an extended medical leave. The firm's practice has a strong concentration in real estate-related disputes; however, candidates with broader general civil litigation experience will also be considered. This fully remote role is best suited for a California-licensed attorney who can dedicate 10–20 hours per week, work independently with minimal supervision, and quickly become productive within an active litigation practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft, review, and respond to written discovery, including interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admission.
• Prepare and oppose motions, including discovery motions and other civil litigation filings.
• Conduct legal research and draft memoranda, pleadings, and supporting case documents.
• Analyze case strategy, procedural issues, and litigation risks.
• Manage assigned matters and ensure compliance with court deadlines and litigation schedules.
• Communicate and collaborate with lead counsel regarding case developments and litigation strategy.
• Attend hearings and other litigation-related proceedings as needed.
• Provide general litigation support across a variety of active civil matters.

Qualifications:

• Active California Bar membership in good standing.
• Approximately 7+ years of civil litigation experience preferred; attorneys with slightly less experience may be considered if they have demonstrated the ability to work independently.
• Experience handling discovery, motion practice, and day-to-day litigation management.
• Ability to assume responsibility for active matters with minimal training or supervision.
• Real estate litigation experience preferred but not required.
• Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills.
• Comfortable working remotely and managing workload independently.
• Writing sample required for consideration.

Additional Information

• Fully remote opportunity.
• Part-time schedule of approximately 10–20 hours per week; experienced litigation attorneys seeking supplemental contract work are encouraged to apply.
