## Description

**LITIGATION ATTORNEY | PLAINTIFF PERSONAL INJURY**

**PAY:** $115K- $185K DOE

APPLY WITH CONFIDENCE

**TORKLAW is more than a highly regarded personal injury firm** \- it’s a place for attorneys who want meaningful responsibility, hands-on litigation experience, and the opportunity to make a real impact for seriously injured clients. If you are driven by substantive litigation work, strategic advocacy, and delivering exceptional results, this is an opportunity to elevate your practice alongside a collaborative and trial-focused team.

Our litigation attorneys are hands-on, strategic, and relentless in pursuing the best possible outcomes for clients. From depositions through trial, you’ll take ownership of your cases, refine litigation strategy as matters evolve, and play a key role in delivering impactful results.

**WHY TORKLAW?**

We are a collaborative, supportive, and growth-driven team committed to delivering exceptional results for clients while helping our employees thrive professionally and personally.

**WHAT YOU’LL DO**

As a Litigation Attorney, your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

-   Draft complaints, demand letters, written discovery, and discovery responses on plaintiff-side personal injury, elder abuse, and employment law matters.
-   Handle all aspects of law and motion — drafting, opposing, and arguing motions in state and federal court
-   Take depositions of defendants, treating physicians, and retained experts
-   Defend depositions of plaintiffs and prepare clients thoroughly for their testimony
-   Prepare lay witnesses, treating providers, and experts for deposition and trial
-   Work directly with retained experts (medical, biomechanical, economic, life care planning, accident reconstruction) to develop case theory and damages
-   Review and analyze medical records, imaging, and provider reports; identify mechanism of injury and causation issues
-   Develop case strategy in collaboration with the senior litigation attorney and execute on it independently
-   Attend hearings, case management conferences, mediations, and settlement conferences
-   Maintain clear, timely communication with clients, opposing counsel, experts, and the internal team

**WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR**

-   Active license in good standing with the State Bar of California
-   J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school
-   2–3 years of civil litigation experience (plaintiff-side preferred; relevant defense-side experience will be considered). Candidates with less experience will be considered only if they can demonstrate substantial independent case-handling, including depositions taken, contested motions argued, and meaningful expert work
-   Hands-on experience taking and defending depositions
-   Demonstrated law and motion experience in California state court (and federal court a plus)
-   Comfort reading and working with medical records; familiarity with anatomy, mechanism of injury, and common treatment pathways in orthopedic, neurological, and soft-tissue cases
-   Strong legal writing and oral advocacy skills
-   Self-starter who manages a caseload independently while remaining responsive to direction from the lead attorney
-   Professional, organized, and able to juggle competing deadlines on a serious-injury caseload without dropping anything

**Nice to have:**

-   Background in personal injury, medical malpractice, or general liability- particularly with serious-injury, catastrophic-injury, wrongful death, or traumatic brain injury cases
-   Trial experience preferred (first or second chair)
-   Experience working with high-value cases and the expert-heavy work-up they require
-   Familiarity with California Code of Civil Procedure, local court rules, and e-filing in California state and federal courts

**BENEFITS & PERKS**

In addition to a competitive salary, this position will receive the following benefits:

-   12 paid holidays annually
-   10 days of paid vacation annually
-   6 days of sick leave annually
-   Medical insurance
-   401(k) with 4% fully vested safe-harbor company match
-   Training and continuing education budget
-   Regular firm events
-   Company-issued laptop replaced every 3 years - after 3 years, your work laptop becomes your personal laptop
-   Occasional access to premium event tickets and company suite experiences, based on availability

**JOIN A TEAM THAT CARES**

If you’re looking for an opportunity to grow as a litigator while handling meaningful plaintiff-side cases alongside an experienced team, we’d love to hear from you.
