Qualifications: Active California Bar admission. Generally 3+ years of substantive litigation experience, with 5–10 years preferred.

Trial experience is strongly preferred, including second-chair participation. Insurance defense experience preferred, particularly involving casualty and liability claims. Strong legal writing, organizational skills, and attention to detail. Ability to manage responsibilities independently in a fully remote environment.
