Remote Attorney/Lawyer

This is a fully remote position marked as "Hybrid" to encourage local, southern California attorneys to apply. Qualified, California-barred attorneys from out of state may also apply if they can work California business hours. The firm has offices in DTLA and Irvine for those who prefer a hybrid arrangement, but the role is primarily remote.
