Part-Time or Project Attorney in Employment & Business Law
Our business & employment law firm (90% Plaintiff) has quite a unique mix of clients that provide interesting cases. We are seeking an attorney who can help with complaints, motions, and discovery. If you are capable of depositions and hearings, all the better.
Our offices are conveniently located in the Golden Triangle behind the La Jolla Marriott. While we prefer you work in the office, we are open to a hybrid situation.
We offer a collegial working environment and have a stellar success rate; we want someone who wants to be great at what they do. We enjoy the intellectual aspect of law, and that is how we prevail.

We seek someone well-spoken, professional, and who likes to learn, with great research skills. We are seeking someone who can work well without supervision. You should be motivated (we don’t micromanage), a self-starter, and someone who can handle a fast-paced environment. We are happy to mentor and will take you to the next level, but you must have a strong work ethic, be a team player, and bring some experience to the table. You should have at least 2 years’ experience in law and motion, be able to propound and respond to discovery, as well as write briefs of various kinds.
