Description:
Role Description:This is a full-time position for an Associate Attorney within the Complex Litigation practice area at A Law Firm based in San Francisco.

Additionally, attorneys are expected to attend depositions, court appearances, inspections, etc., in person where necessary to provide the best representation to our clients. Similarly, attorneys are expected to attend professional development and trial skills development meetings in person at the discretion of the managing partner.
