REMOTE in CA - Associate Attorney

We are looking for a REMOTE, CA-barred attorney to join a business-focused litigation practice serving financial institutions and corporate clients. This firm is national, but this attorney will be based out of their office in Orange County.

This role offers experience in commercial disputes across state and federal courts, along with the flexibility of a largely remote work environment supported by a collaborative, long-tenured team. The firm values strong legal work, practical judgment, and a balanced approach to client service and workload management.

The firm prides itself on work-life balance; attorneys love picking up their kids from school each day and practicing during flexible hours.

Responsibilities:

• Manage commercial litigation matters for banking and corporate clients in both state and federal court.

• Draft, review, and file pleadings, motions, briefs, and other litigation documents with a high degree of accuracy.

• Lead written discovery efforts, including preparing interrogatory responses, document requests, subpoenas, and related objections or replies.

• Coordinate case strategy, factual development, and procedural deadlines from initial case assessment through resolution.

• Participate in trial preparation, court appearances, and client meetings as needed, with travel required for in-person proceedings.

• Work closely with partners and colleagues to deliver efficient, business-minded legal representation.

• Maintain clear communication with clients regarding case developments, risk assessment, and litigation strategy.

• Track billable time consistently and contribute to meeting annual productivity expectations in a fast-paced but sustainable practice.

Qualifications:

• Active attorney license in CA.

• Minimum of 2 years of litigation experience in CA, preferably in defense-side matters.

• Background handling civil or commercial litigation, including matters involving financial institutions or business clients.

• Demonstrated ability to draft motions, briefs, pleadings, and discovery materials independently.

• Experience managing written discovery, subpoenas, and responses in contested matters.

• Strong knowledge of state and federal court procedures.

• Must reside in California, with availability for hybrid work in Orange County if licensed experience is under 2 years.

• Excellent written advocacy, organization, and case management skills.
