Robert Half In House Counsel - Litigation in San Diego, California
Description
Robert Half Legal is partnering with a booming real estate company, seeking an in-house counsel to manage litigation. This attorney will join a growing legal department defending elder abuse, medical malpractice, and/or negligence claims.
This is not a corporate in-house counsel job; the attorney will be expected to role up their sleeves and handle litigation from an in-house perspective. The role involves working closely with outside counsel, managing 5-8 cases (some in active litigation, some just starting, some in arbitration), up to 10 sometimes. The in-house counsel will defend claims of medical malpractice / elder abuse / negligence for assisted living and memory care facilities by representing the real estate company in mediation, arbitration, and court proceedings. An aggressive litigator personality that loves the counseling part of lawyering is perfect for this role.
Requirements
Experience litigating elder abuse cases, or a similar practice area.
Experience handholding outside counsel, reporting into senior leadership about cases (“this is where the case is at, this is the settlement proposal”) during weekly meetings.
An aggressive litigator mentality.
Willing to work onsite daily.
CA bar license.
Pay is entirely contingent upon experience.
