We're seeking an experienced Civil Litigation Attorney with at least five years of experience to join our growing litigation department in Agoura Hills, California.

We offer a competitive base salary, quarterly production bonuses, vacation benefits, dedicated paralegal and legal assistant support, and a collaborative, primarily in-office environment with hybrid flexibility available based on individual circumstances.

No prior HOA experience is required! We welcome experienced civil litigators from a variety of practice areas who are interested in expanding their expertise.

Work-Life Balance: We encourage attorneys to take advantage of vacation benefits, maintain personal commitments, and develop sustainable careers.
Meaningful Case Ownership: Independently manage your own litigation matters while having access to experienced colleagues and support staff.

Our firm provides comprehensive legal services in civil litigation, general counsel, and judicial foreclosure collections. Our clients include residential, condominium, high-rise, commercial, and mixed-use communities.

Manage civil litigation matters from inception through resolution, including discovery, law and motion, depositions, mediation, settlement, and trial preparation.
Develop case strategy and provide practical legal guidance to clients.
Draft and review pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery, and settlement agreements.
Represent clients at hearings, depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and trials.
Work collaboratively with shareholders, attorneys, and dedicated support staff.
Assist with occasional general counsel matters involving HOA governance, contracts, and related legal issues.

Qualifications:

Active California State Bar membership in good standing.
Minimum five years of civil litigation experience.
Demonstrated ability to independently manage litigation matters, including discovery, motions, depositions, and case deadlines.
Strong legal research, writing, negotiation, and advocacy skills.
Excellent communication, organization, and client-service skills.
Experience in real estate, business litigation, construction defect, insurance defense, or HOA litigation is a plus, but not required.
Trial experience is a plus.
We value strong civil litigation experience over prior familiarity with HOA law and welcome attorneys interested in transitioning into this practice area.
