Personal Injury Attorney – Trial or Non-Trial Focus
The firm is looking to ideally hire 2 attorneys, a Trial Focused Attorney, and a Personal Injury Litigation Attorney
Location: Century City, Los Angeles, CA
Work Model: Onsite, 5 days per week
This is a rare opportunity for a trial attorney who wants to make a real impact in a small, high-performing firm. You’ll be the go-to trial lawyer (or Personal Injury Litigation Attorney), leaving your fingerprint on every case, shaping strategy, and helping grow the team as the firm expands.
Compensation & Benefits:
• Competitive base salary ($175,000 - $300,000) if necessary, firm will consider exceeding a $300k base for the right candidate; commensurate with experience
• 5% commission on pre-trial settlements; 10% commission on cases taken to trial (jury empaneled)
• Additional 25% of net attorney fees on cases you personally bring to the firm
• W2 or 1099 structure available, depending on preference
• If W2, benefits package available through the firm’s HR provider
About the Firm:
Join a growing 2 attorney plaintiff-side personal injury law firm in Century City that’s rapidly growing and deeply committed to high-stakes litigation. The firm handles a robust caseload of 150–200 new personal injury matters per month, with 150 active cases involving more than $400K in medicals and backed by commercial insurance. This provides attorneys the opportunity to review the files, select the strongest matters, and aggressively pursue them through litigation.
The firm is well-capitalized — their current upcoming trial has $300K already invested in expert and trial costs, and leadership is committed to funding cases properly. With a legal team consisting of 2 attorneys and 8 paralegal/litigation assistants, attorneys receive at least 1 dedicated paralegal plus additional legal support, giving you the resources to manage cases efficiently and focus on high-value litigation.
This is an opportunity for a lawyer with 5 or more years of experience specifically in PI litigation, or a Senior Trial Attorney who thrives in the courtroom, wants to take ownership of a strong pipeline of catastrophic injury cases, and enjoys working with a close-knit, results-driven team. You’ll work directly with firm leadership on 7- and 8-figure matters, supported by dedicated paralegal assistance and experienced co-counsel.
Key Responsibilities:
• Lead all phases of personal injury litigation from filing through verdict, including pleadings, discovery, depositions, mediation, and trial
• Prepare and execute detailed trial strategies with firm leadership
• Manage 25–30 active litigation cases at a time, focusing on high-value, complex matters (goal: 10+ settlements annually)
• Oversee pre-trial preparation, including expert engagement, evidence organization, and trial exhibits
• For a Trial Attorney, serve as first chair (goal: 3–5 trials per year)
• Mentor and collaborate with litigation support staff and paralegals assigned to your caseload
• Communicate effectively with clients, opposing counsel, and team members to ensure top-tier case outcomes
• Drive settlement negotiations and handle mediation and post-resolution processes
What We’re Looking For:
• 5+ years of experience in personal injury litigation, and for the Trial Attorney, extensive courtroom and trial experience
• Proven record of success in jury trials and high-value settlements
• Strong strategic, organizational, and client communication skills
• California Bar admission in good standing
• Ability to lead, collaborate, and thrive in a fast-paced, fully onsite environment
