Medical Malpractice Attorney Jobs in San Diego, CA at Distinct Recruitment

Some cases are about money.

Some involve a decision made in an operating room 3 years ago, 4 experts who disagree about it and several million dollars riding on who a jury believes.

Slightly more interesting.

I’m working with a large national litigation firm looking to add a Medical Malpractice Defense Attorney to its California team. High stakes cases, sophisticated clients and the opportunity to become a seriously good litigator.

Salary: $120,000 to $165,000, depending on experience

Why this firm:

  • National platform with an established healthcare litigation practice
  • Complex cases involving physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers
  • High quality work where experts, strategy and good advocacy genuinely matter
  • Strong trial culture with experienced litigators around you
  • Real opportunity to take ownership of cases and progress your career

What you’ll be doing:

  • Defend healthcare providers in medical malpractice and related litigation
  • Take and defend depositions and work closely with medical experts
  • Handle substantive motions, hearings, mediations and settlement negotiations
  • Develop case strategy and prepare significant matters for trial

What you’ll have:

  • 2 to 6 years of civil litigation experience, ideally including medical malpractice or healthcare defense
  • Experience handling depositions, discovery and substantive motions
  • Strong writing skills and the confidence to handle complex matters
  • Admitted to The California Bar

Next Steps:

Here’s the bit worth remembering: you don’t need to be actively looking to have a conversation.

Maybe there’s something better out there for you. Maybe there isn’t. Worst case, we have a confidential chat and you decide staying put is the right move. That’s a perfectly good outcome too.

If you’d rather talk than apply, call me on 646 540 9647. I know court appearances, depositions and the small matter of actually billing your hours don’t always leave much room in your day. So I’m around early mornings (from 6am PST time) and at weekends too.

And if speaking to a recruiter isn’t normally high on your list of enjoyable activities, I understand. There are over 100 recommendations on my LinkedIn profile if you want to vet me first. I’m Arran Jaiswal At Distinct North America.
