Real Estate Litigation Attorney

About the role
About this position:
Must be actively licensed to practice law in California to be considered for this position
Join Castaneda & Co., where our innovative approach and deep legal analysis define our success in real estate litigation. You'll be part of a dynamic team that thrives on collaboration and outsmarting larger firms with original thinking. As a Real Estate Litigation Attorney, you'll play a crucial role in handling complex residential purchase disputes and commercial lease conflicts. We value continuous learning and believe that great lawyers are made through experience and dedication. In our supportive environment, we encourage growth and provide honest feedback to help you excel.
Who We Are:
We are highly specialized California real estate lawyers. Although there are many real estate practice areas, we only focus on two. First, we represent homebuyers in litigation against sellers and the real estate agents for both parties. Second, we represent small business owners in commercial lease litigation against landlords.
If you want to go after the bad guys and the obstructionist insurance defense lawyers who protect them, then this David-versus-Goliath law firm is for you.
Who We Are:
Looking ForWe are looking for attorneys who want to constantly improve. That means that you want to master legal writing, depositions, and jury trials. You must have the drive to spend 20 hours a week improving your skill set so that you have the ability to win jury verdicts. We are looking for lawyers who will happily put in 15 to 20 hours a week reading books and taking the clinics below after being hired.
How You Will Get BetterThe "10,000-hour rule," popularized by Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers, states that roughly 10,000 hours of dedicated practice are required to achieve world-class mastery in any field. However, researchers note this is an oversimplification. Simple repetition is not enough
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.
