Real Estate Litigators: Tired of the BigLaw grind but still want $200M+ disputes? Read on.
Let’s be honest. You didn't spend the last decade masterfully dissecting complex title disputes and saving nine-figure commercial acquisitions just to be treated like a billable-hour robot.

If you are a

Real Estate Litigation Partner (or Senior Associate ready for the title)

with 8+ years of experience, we’re partnering with a premier, 35-attorney powerhouse in Los Angeles that wants your brain—not just your spreadsheet.

This isn’t a “keep your head down and review documents” gig. This is a

Non-Equity Partner

role with a completely transparent, mathematically defined path to Equity (where the partners are comfortably clearing seven figures).

What You’ll Be Doing (The Meat & Potatoes)

Commanding the Room:

Leading high-stakes commercial real estate litigation—think $200M+ acquisitions, intricate financing battles, and complex title disputes.

Full Lifecycle Ownership:

Managing high-value cases from inception through trial. You own your strategy.

Bridging the Gap:

Partnering with the transactional real estate group to untangle disputes that require a deep, sophisticated understanding of underlying property law.

Building an Empire:

Cultivating client relationships with full firm backing to grow your own book of business.

Who You Are (The Reality Check)

A Generalist of Property Law:

You aren’t a one-trick pony. You’ve touched acquisitions, finance, and title issues. (Residential-only or small-fry eviction experience won’t cut it here).

Substantively Deep:

If I ask you about the nuance of a motion you wrote three years ago, you can talk about it with passion, not deflection.

A Precision Wordsmith:

You have an active CA Bar membership and a pristine writing sample. Typos are your kryptonite.

A Collaborative Leader:

You actually like mentoring junior associates and bouncing ideas off brilliant peers.

The Perks & Numbers

Guaranteed Base:

$300,000 – $400,000 (depending on your level of brilliance).

Real Upside:

A transparent, mathematical bonus formula that rewards business origination. Non-equity partners here regularly clear

mid-$400ks to $500k+.

The Path:

A genuine, politics-free ladder to full Equity Partnership ($1M+).

The Extras:

Firm-paid bar fees, cell phone allowance, 401(k), laptop, and a very generous marketing budget to help you wine and dine clients.

The Vibe:

A hybrid schedule (4 days in the LA office) because this firm actually values real-life camaraderie and collaboration over Zoom fatigue.

Note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
