We’re building a new team in the Inland Empire with plans for a permanent office in the Redlands area and the attorneys who join us now will have the opportunity to be part of that growth from the beginning.\nYou’ll work alongside experienced litigators, take on meaningful case responsibility, and receive the kind of hands-on mentorship that can make a real difference early in your career.\nIf you’re looking for a place where you can learn, contribute, and build toward something, we’d love to meet you.\nWhy Join Our Inland Empire Team?\nMentorship That Meets You Where You Are\nThe office is led by Pat Ferraris, an experienced litigator, former professor, and highly regarded mentor. His approach is individualized; giving attorneys the guidance and feedback they need while building the confidence and skills to work more independently as they develop.\nReal Experience. Real Responsibility.\nYou won’t spend years waiting for an opportunity to do substantive work. Our attorneys are encouraged to take ownership, build relationships with clients, strengthen their writing and advocacy skills, and develop the judgment needed to become confident litigators.\nGrow Alongside the Office\nWe’re building toward a team of approximately 10 attorneys in the Inland Empire. Joining during this stage means becoming part of the office early, developing alongside experienced attorneys and future team leaders, and positioning yourself for opportunities as the team expands.\nInteresting, Varied Litigation\nOur current matters include automobile liability, premises liability, product liability, and other civil litigation throughout the Inland Empire and beyond. We also welcome attorneys coming from related practices such as medical malpractice, professional liability, construction defect, and broader civil litigation.\nA Team Where People Help Each Other\nWe’re intentionally building a culture around trust, camaraderie, communication, and mutual respect. We want attorneys who care about doing excellent work and who also believe being a great colleague matters.\nWho Will Thrive Here\nYou’re curious, motivated, and ready to become a stronger litigator.\nYou take ownership of your work, communicate when you need guidance, and are receptive to feedback. You’re comfortable working independently but appreciate having experienced attorneys available when you need them. Most importantly, you want to learn.\nInsurance defense experience is preferred, but it isn't the only path to this team. We’re open to attorneys with substantive civil litigation experience who are excited to develop their defense practice.\nExperience with discovery, depositions, motion practice, case strategy, and trial preparation is valuable, and we’re particularly interested in attorneys who want greater exposure to the courtroom as their careers progress.\nSmall-Team Experience. National-Firm Resources.\nThere’s something unique about joining an office while it’s still being built.\nYou get the visibility, relationships, and opportunities that come with a smaller team, while having the resources, training, technology, and stability of a national litigation firm behind you.\nOur Inland Empire team is currently working from collaborative office space as we grow, with plans to establish a permanent office in the Redlands area based on the needs of the expanding team.\nAnd as the office grows, we want our attorneys to grow with it.\nCome Grow With Us\nYou don’t need to have your entire legal career mapped out. You need the right environment, meaningful opportunities, great people to learn from, and the drive to keep getting better.\nBring your ambition.
