About the role
We are looking for a Personal Injury Associate Attorney to join a plaintiff-focused law firm serving injured clients in Oakland, California. This role is well suited for a licensed California attorney with at least two years of experience who can independently manage active matters and help move cases toward resolution or trial. The position offers the flexibility of primarily remote work, along with periodic travel for litigation events and in-person proceedings.
Responsibilities:
Manage plaintiff-side personal injury matters from initial review through resolution, maintaining momentum across each stage of litigation.
Evaluate case files, develop legal strategy, and advance claims with a strong focus on building matters for trial readiness.
Take and defend depositions, gather testimony, and use discovery tools to strengthen case development.
Prepare motions, pleadings, and other litigation documents with clear legal analysis and persuasive writing.
Appear for hearings, site visits, trials, and related proceedings as needed in various jurisdictions throughout California.
Communicate with clients, opposing counsel, experts, and other parties to support effective case progression and client service.
Assess liability, damages, and evidentiary issues to help maximize outcomes for injured clients.
Work independently in a small-firm setting while contributing to high-quality representation across an active caseload.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
