Newport Beach CA, United States Luther Lanard PC Full time

You're Ready to Leave Because You're capable of so much more than drafting the 47th iteration of a brief that six partners will redline into oblivion. You're tired of: Billing your life away with no recognition beyond "hit your hours" Being treated like a junior associate, even though you've been practicing for years Drowning in busy work instead of doing actual legal strategy Never seeing the finish line on your own cases Wondering if anyone notices when you go above and beyond You didn't go to law school to be micromanaged. No one's going to swoop in at the last minute to take credit. You'll have a training wheels period, but not for long. We specialize in franchise law, and we don't expect you to know it on day one. But you'll get structured mentorship to get up to speed fast, and then we trust you to run with it. You'll talk to humans, not just documents. Significant client interaction means you're building relationships, understanding their businesses, and delivering solutions they actually understand. You're their advocate, not just their paperwork factory. You're working from home. Yoga pants, your dog, your couch. Whatever helps you close out the week strong. We're a phone call away. And when it comes to active litigation, you’ll work with other attorneys passionate about representing franchisees. Your Wins Are Your Wins: 1,700 billable target (including 100 creditable non-billable hours), Quarterly performance bonuses that actually reward the work you put in, and Origination credit when you bring in business. You won't dread Monday mornings here. Whether that means taking on bigger cases, mentoring junior attorneys down the line, or building your own book of business, we're invested in your trajectory. Independently handle transactional and pre-lawsuit dispute matters from start to finish Identify claims and help clients navigate their options Draft demand letters and settlement agreements Effectively confer with franchisors and opposing counsel Set and manage client expectations Qualifications: What We Need From You The Baseline: J.D. from an accredited law school Active State Bar license in good standing 4 years of litigation experience The Real Stuff: You're responsive , clients and colleagues can count on you You're detail-oriented without being paralyzed by perfectionism You're intellectually curious , you want to understand the "why," not just the "what" You can manage your own workload and hit deadlines without constant check-ins You’re a strategic thinker who finds ways to advance the client’s interests You communicate clearly , whether that's in writing or on a call with an anxious franchisee About Company We're a franchise law firm, which means we work with franchisees navigating disputes, transactions, and everything in between.
