Litigation Associate

Call & Jensen, an Orange County litigation boutique established in 1981, seeks experienced, knowledgeable, and independent-thinking attorneys to advocate for our well-respected clients in employment, class action and business cases. Our Firm services some of the country's largest and most recognizable corporations, as well as younger and up-and-coming companies, obtaining extremely favorable verdicts, judgments, and settlements on their behalf on the defense side, and seven- and eight-figure verdicts on the plaintiffs' side.

We constantly strive for excellence in our hiring and retention practices. We expect that the majority of our associates will spend their entire careers at Call & Jensen; therefore, our partnership track is shorter than larger firms. We seek attorneys who truly enjoy the practice of law and derive great personal and professional satisfaction from our clients' successes.

Responsibilities:

• Prepare motions, oppositions to motions, and reply briefs, and attend hearings before judicial officers in state and federal courts and arbitration forums;
• Prepare for and take depositions;
• Prepare discovery requests, discovery responses, and subpoenas;
• Prepare agreements, such as settlement agreements and joint defense agreements
• Support first-chair attorneys before, during and after trial, preparing pretrial documents, motions and deposition summaries;
• Interact with clients and opposing counsel in a courteous and thoughtful manner;
• Research case law and statutes;
• Review and analyze documents produced by opposing counsel and documents provided by clients;
• Develop new clients;
• Supervise a remote paralegals and legal assistants;
• Prepare and give MCLEs to firm lawyers and paralegals on topics of interest; and
• Enter billable time promptly and accurately.

Associates are expected to bill 1,800 hours a year, a family-friendly metric that encourages work/life harmony. Our goal is to promote an environment that supports thriving and sustainable practices for associates and partners. Along the same lines, our hybrid work schedule allows associates great flexibility while still promoting a collaborative environment in the office. The unlimited PTO further speaks to the importance of a balanced, sustainable career. We expect associates to spend most of their first month in the office to absorb our culture and get to know our team. After the initial period, a hybrid work schedule is available and fully supported.

We provide equal employment opportunities to all applicants and employees without regard to race, religion, color, gender, creed, marital status, national origin, citizenship, age, sex, physical disability, medical condition, veteran status, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or any other classification protected by local, state, and federal employment discrimination laws. This policy applies to all aspects of employment including hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion and demotion, benefits, training, and termination of employment.
