Overview
We are seeking a mid-level litigation associate to join our San Francisco office. Our practice combines sophisticated commercial litigation, regulatory enforcement matters, and public law challenges across a diverse nationwide client base. This role is well suited for an attorney trained in a leading law firm or government practice who is seeking greater responsibility, direct client engagement, and meaningful participation in complex, high-impact disputes, with close collaboration and mentorship from experienced partners. Associates in our San Francisco office work closely with partners on significant matters from inception through resolution and are expected to assume substantial responsibility as their experience develops.
The Practice

- Partnership, shareholder, and governance disputes
- Regulatory investigations and enforcement actions at the state and federal level
- Administrative proceedings and writ petitions challenging agency action
- Appellate matters and pre-litigation strategic counseling
Matters frequently involve expedited proceedings, requests for injunctive relief, parallel regulatory exposure, and substantial financial or operational stakes for clients. Associates work on lean teams and play visible roles in significant matters.
Responsibilities
- Manage cases and discrete litigation components with increasing independence
- Draft pleadings, dispositive motions, and substantive briefs
- Conduct and oversee written discovery and motion practice
- Participate in depositions, hearings, mediations, and client strategy sessions
- Work closely with partners on litigation strategy and case development
- Develop legal analysis across evolving statutory and regulatory frameworks
- Communicate directly with clients, opposing counsel, and regulators
- Assume ownership of key workstreams and contribute to efficient case management
Associates will have opportunities for meaningful stand-up experience and direct client interaction commensurate with experience.
Qualifications
- Three to four years of litigation experience in state and/or federal court
- Training at a leading law firm, litigation boutique, or government practice preferred
- Experience drafting dispositive motions and managing discovery
- Strong research, writing, and analytical skills
- Sound professional judgment, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple workstreams effectively
- Interest in both commercial litigation and regulatory/public law matters, including attorneys seeking to broaden their practice into these areas
- Active membership in the California Bar, or ability to obtain admission promptly
- Judicial clerkship or government experience is a plus
What We Offer
- Sophisticated litigation across commercial, regulatory, and public law domains
- Early and meaningful responsibility in significant matters
- Direct client engagement and strategic involvement
- Close collaboration with experienced partners and lean staffing on cases
- A collegial, intellectually rigorous environment focused on high-quality work
- Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
- Hybrid flexibility consistent with client and practice needs
We value varied professional backgrounds and perspectives and encourage candidates with diverse experiences to apply.
