We are a small, high-quality practice that emphasizes careful legal analysis, strong writing, practical business judgment, and personal attention to each client. Our matters often involve business disputes, contract issues, corporate transactions, intellectual property rights, internet law, online business practices, and strategic legal counseling. We are looking for an attorney who can take ownership of matters, communicate effectively with clients, and produce excellent work without the bureaucracy of a large firm. Role Description This is a full-time, on-site role for a Business, Internet Law, and Litigation Senior Associate Attorney based in Los Angeles (UCLA Adjacent), California.
