Associate Attorney

Lorber, Greenfield & Olsen, LLP, Los Angeles, CA, United States


Lorber, Greenfield & Olsen, LLP has been a trusted name in civil litigation defense for over 46 years. Since 1980, we've built our reputation on successfully representing developers and general contractors in complex construction defect and casualty claims — and our AV® Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell is a testament to the caliber of work we deliver. We're a firm that takes its cases seriously and its people even more so.
We believe in empowering our employees to work where they're most productive. Whether you prefer being onsite, working remotely, or a hybrid approach, the choice is yours. We trust our team members to choose the work arrangement that best fits their lifestyle and working style.
