About this role
Associate Attorney
The Opportunity
At Segal McCambridge, associates are not siloed or relegated to support roles. As a key member of our team, you’ll work on a wide variety of complex civil defense matters, including:
- Catastrophic injury

This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys who want to sharpen their litigation skills, take ownership of their work, and build a long-term career within a growing national firm.

- Active license to practice law in California
- At least 3 years of experience in civil defense litigation
- Strong skills in legal research, writing, and oral advocacy
- Experience drafting pleadings, handling discovery, and managing motion practice
- Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
- Team-oriented mindset with a proactive, ownership-driven approach
