  • MUELLER CHRISTENSEN LLP
  • Lake Forest, CA

Job Description

Winter Is Coming. Billables Are Here.

Mueller Christensen LLP seeks a Mid-Senior Litigation Associate with 5+ years of experience – a battle-tested litigator of courage, cunning, and billing discipline, ready to ride boldly into depositions, stand fast in court, and survive motion practice without losing head, heart, or momentum.

We are not looking for a scribe. We are looking for a knight of the realm – one who can handle written discovery, depositions, law and motion practice, court appearances, and case management independently, while working closely with partners on strategy and supervising junior attorneys who have not yet earned their spurs.

If opposing counsel breathing fire only sharpens your focus, then you may be the sworn sword we seek.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: approximately $200,000 annually, depending on experience
  • Minimum billable requirement: 1,750 hours annually
  • Bonus eligibility under a fixed formula based on hours and performance
  • Retirement plan with firm matching
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • CLE and professional development support
  • Paid time off and firm holidays
  • Hybrid flexibility 

Compensation:

$200,000 annually DOE

Responsibilities:

Mueller Christensen LLP offers attorneys the chance to build sophisticated practices in a supportive and flexible environment, with substantial client contact and meaningful professional growth. Here, you may sharpen your craft, prove your loyalty, and perhaps become not just counsel, but legend.

In this role, you will:

  • Command written discovery
  • Take and defend depositions independently
  • Draft, argue and defend motions
  • Appear in court prepared, composed, and ready to advocate
  • Manage cases from initial pleadings through resolution or trial
  • Supervise and develop junior attorneys on active matters
Qualifications:
  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Active California Bar membership in good standing
  • At least 5 years of civil or probate litigation experience
  • Strong research, writing, and analytical skills
  • Experience managing cases and deadlines independently in a fast-paced environment
  • Excellent interpersonal and client communication skills 
About Company

Mueller Christensen LLP is a growing boutique litigation firm based in Torrance, CA, with an additional office in Lake Forest. We’re an early-stage and growing firm of creative, curious litigators focused on Civil Litigation , Probate & Trust Litigation , Professional Liability , and Appeals . We represent a range of clients, from Major League Baseball organizations and law firms to businesses and individuals, across a focused set of practice areas where we do our best and most meaningful work.

Our culture is smart, direct, and a little bit nerdy. We value strategy as much as storytelling, candor as much as craft, and we believe great teams, like great stories, need all kinds of advocates.
