APPLY WITH CONFIDENCE
TORKLAW is more than a highly regarded personal injury firm - it’s a place for attorneys who want meaningful responsibility, hands-on litigation experience, and the opportunity to make a real impact for seriously injured clients. If you are driven by substantive litigation work, strategic advocacy, and delivering exceptional results, this is an opportunity to elevate your practice alongside a collaborative and trial-focused team.
Our litigation attorneys are hands-on, strategic, and relentless in pursuing the best possible outcomes for clients. From depositions through trial, you’ll take ownership of your cases, refine litigation strategy as matters evolve, and play a key role in delivering impactful results.
WHY TORKLAW?
We are a collaborative, supportive, and growth-driven team committed to delivering exceptional results for clients while helping our employees thrive professionally and personally.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a Litigation Attorney, your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Draft complaints, demand letters, written discovery, and discovery responses on plaintiff-side personal injury, elder abuse, and employment law matters.
- Handle all aspects of law and motion - drafting, opposing, and arguing motions in state and federal court
- Take depositions of defendants, treating physicians, and retained experts
- Defend depositions of plaintiffs and prepare clients thoroughly for their testimony
- Prepare lay witnesses, treating providers, and experts for deposition and trial
- Work directly with retained experts (medical, biomechanical, economic, life care planning, accident reconstruction) to develop case theory and damages
- Review and analyze medical records, imaging, and provider reports; identify mechanism of injury and causation issues
- Develop case strategy in collaboration with the senior litigation attorney and execute on it independently
- Attend hearings, case management conferences, mediations, and settlement conferences
- Maintain clear, timely communication with clients, opposing counsel, experts, and the internal team
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Active license in good standing with the State Bar of California
- J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school
- 2-3 years of civil litigation experience (plaintiff-side preferred; relevant defense-side experience will be considered). Candidates with less experience will be considered only if they can demonstrate substantial independent case-handling, including depositions taken, contested motions argued, and meaningful expert work
- Hands-on experience taking and defending depositions
- Demonstrated law and motion experience in California state court (and federal court a plus)
- Comfort reading and working with medical records; familiarity with anatomy, mechanism of injury, and common treatment pathways in orthopedic, neurological, and soft-tissue cases
- Strong legal writing and oral advocacy skills
- Self-starter who manages a caseload independently while remaining responsive to direction from the lead attorney
- Professional, organized, and able to juggle competing deadlines on a serious-injury caseload without dropping anything
Nice to have:
- Background in personal injury, medical malpractice, or general liability- particularly with serious-injury, catastrophic-injury, wrongful death, or traumatic brain injury cases
- Trial experience preferred (first or second chair)
- Experience working with high-value cases and the expert-heavy work-up they require
- Familiarity with California Code of Civil Procedure, local court rules, and e-filing in California state and federal courts
BENEFITS & PERKS
In addition to a competitive salary, this position will receive the following benefits:
- 12 paid holidays annually
- 10 days of paid vacation annually
- 6 days of sick leave annually
- Medical insurance
- 401(k) with 4% fully vested safe-harbor company match
- Training and continuing education budget
- Regular firm events
