BRAND NEW OPPORTUNITY Construction Attorney | Premium California Practice | Major Project Work | Up to $400k | LA / OC | Hybrid / Remote

I’ll keep this brief — I’m working directly with a well-established California firm that is continuing to invest heavily in its construction practice, and they’re looking to bring in someone who wants to do proper project-related work, not just churn files.

This is one of those roles where you actually get exposure to the interesting side of construction law — the kind of matters that involve real strategy, real money, and real client impact.

What makes this different:

• Big-ticket project exposure: You’ll be working across large infrastructure, commercial, energy and public-sector developments — not small, repetitive matters

• Front-end + disputes: The team operates across the full spectrum — contracts, advisory, and disputes — so you’re not boxed into one lane

• Experienced, tight-knit team: This is a group that has built their practice together over time — collaborative, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable to work with

• Public + private mix: Strong pipeline of public works alongside private development — great for building a well-rounded practice

• Grown-up environment: High-quality work without the overly rigid structure you often see in larger firms

• Real progression: You’re not just filling a seat — there’s a genuine opportunity to build your career here

️ What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting clients from project inception through to completion and beyond

• Drafting and negotiating construction contracts and project documentation

• Advising on live project issues including delays, disruption, variations, and payment disputes

• Working on arbitrations, mediations, and litigation tied to complex construction matters

• Providing ongoing advice on risk, compliance, and project strategy

• Working closely with a range of stakeholders including developers, contractors, consultants, and lenders

⚖️ What they’re looking for:

• Solid background in construction law — whether that’s disputes, contracts, or a mix

• Comfortable dealing with complex project issues and commercial risk

• Exposure to public sector work, procurement, or regulatory elements is a big plus

• Strong technical drafting and communication skills

• Someone who can operate independently but still enjoys being part of a team

• Commercially aware and motivated to grow their practice long-term

Location:

Los Angeles or Orange County

Hybrid / remote flexibility available

Compensation:

• Base salary up to $400,000 depending on experience

• Bonus structure on top

• 1,850 billable target

• Strong billing rates with room to build

Why it’s worth a conversation:

A lot of construction roles lean too heavily one way — either pure disputes or purely transactional.

This one gives you:
• Variety
• Quality work
• A stable, respected platform
• And the chance to actually build something long-term
