We’re seeking a motivated Staff Attorney ready to build meaningful legal experience while developing expertise in the growing field of bankruptcy law.
This is an excellent opportunity for a newer attorney, recent bar admittee, or civil/family law associate who wants more courtroom exposure, direct interaction with judges and experienced legal professionals, and a more stable schedule outside of the traditional billable-hour environment.
Responsibilities:
• Represent the Chapter 13 Trustee at creditor meetings and court hearings
• Handle motion practice and oral arguments
• Draft legal documents and conduct bankruptcy-related legal research
• Provide legal guidance and support to office staff and paralegals
• Work directly with judges, attorneys, creditors, and debtors
Qualifications:
• Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school
• Active California Bar license OR currently awaiting California Bar Exam results
• 0–10 years of legal experience
• Strong legal research, writing, and communication skills
• Excellent attention to detail, organization, and time management
• Self-motivated professional who takes initiative and enjoys working collaboratively
Why This Role Stands Out:
✓ Hybrid schedule – 2–4 days in office
✓ Excellent benefits, including 401(k) matching
✓ Regular courtroom exposure
✓ Stable schedule and long-term career opportunity
This could be an especially strong fit for a recent bar admittee or early-career attorney looking for hands-on experience and an opportunity to grow within a specialized area of law.
