Job Description:
There’s a version of your litigation career where the trial
calendar is full, the hours are sane, and you don’t have to explain
to your friends why you’re still working at 9 PM. This role gets
you there. A respected Southern California defense firm—represented
by Mission Recruiting—is growing its San Diego litigation team.
Known for handling complex civil matters with precision and punch,
the firm is expanding to meet client demand. Think traumatic brain
injury, construction defect, and property damage—cases that need
real strategy, not copy-paste lawyering. You’ll join a bench of
seasoned trial attorneys who support, mentor, and actually go to
court. If you’ve ever juggled depo preps while ordering tacos in
North Park, this team probably speaks your language. What You’ll
Handle: Lead case strategy from intake through resolution Take and
defend depositions (yes, real depositions, not just sitting second
chair) Argue motions, negotiate settlements, and show up for trial
when needed Deliver crisp, smart reporting to clients Maintain an
1800-hour target—and still catch that last surf session What You
Bring: Licensed in California A few solid years of litigation under
your belt Excellent communication and courtroom presence The
ability to manage cases like a pro—not just bill hours Comp Perks:
$120,000 to $170,000 base, depending on experience Performance
bonuses that don’t disappear in red tape Hybrid schedule (San Diego
office WFH flexibility) Full medical, dental, vision 401(k) with
match PTO, bar dues, pet insurance, and a few extras you’ll
actually use The Bottom Line: This is the defense firm you wish
more firms acted like—smart people, solid support, and enough
respect for your time that you won’t brief motions from a tent on
Zoom. Let’s Talk. Contact Mission Recruiting to schedule a
confidential call. Your next role should work as hard—and as
smart—as you do. Salary Range: $120,000 - $170,000 Reference:
