A nationally recognized plaintiff firm with over 10 offices across the US is seeking an associate attorney to join its Culver City office. Exclusively dedicated to representing victims and their families, this firm has built a formidable reputation for landmark verdicts and substantial recovery. The work is complex, fast-paced, and deeply meaningful.

As an associate, you will manage your own caseload, work directly alongside experienced litigators and be in the work from day one. If you do not have asbestos-specific litigation but are deeply passionate about the work, the firm is willing to train but does expect a strong litigation foundation coming in.

Your Credentials
