Are you an experienced litigator ready to step into a national practice handling high-stakes financial, securities, and business litigation? Our top-rated San Diego firm is looking for a serious legal talent—someone with sharp skills, presence, and judgment—to assume immediate, primary responsibility in complex matters.

This is not just another litigation job. It’s an opportunity to join a high-performing team of seasoned professionals at a well-run, nationally recognized firm with deep expertise in securities, financial fraud, and commercial disputes. For the right attorney, this is a clear path to partnership in a rarefied setting.

• What We’re Offering
• Immediate opportunity to lead and manage sophisticated federal and state court cases and arbitrations nationwide (FINRA, AAA, JAMS)
• Direct mentorship from nationally known senior attorneys
• Long-term growth in a tight-knit, in-office environment—we do not hire remote attorneys
• A respected platform with national clients including broker-dealers, RIAs, hedge / private equity funds, and institutional investors
• Compensation & Benefits
• Competitive base salary : $170,000–$200,000+ DOE
• Annual performance bonuses
• Profit-sharing plan and 401(k) with contributions
• Full medical, dental, and vision
• Generous vacation / PTO policy
• Monthly paid parking
• Architecturally designed, high-floor offices in a premier downtown San Diego building with ocean views
• Qualified Candidates Will Have
• 5+ years of primary litigation experience in complex commercial, securities, or financial services disputes
• Must be currently admitted to practice in California
• Strong brief writing, legal analysis, and oral advocacy skills are essential
• Must be able to assume full responsibility for pleadings, discovery, depositions, and case strategy under partner oversight
• Familiarity with securities law, FINRA, financial regulation, or financial fraud litigation is highly preferred
• Clerkship experience or top-tier law school credentials are a plus, but not required
• No Book Required—but Business Is Rewarded

A portable book of business is not necessary for this role. However, if you bring existing clients or generate new business, you will share in fee participation and origination credit.

This Is an In-Office Position

We strongly value in-person collaboration, mentorship, and culture. Remote or hybrid work is not offered. Please apply only if you are seeking a full-time, in-office role in San Diego.
