Legal & ComplianceAttorney

Trial Impact Project seeks a creative and skilled litigator with excellent judgment for the role of Senior Attorney. This is a unique opportunity to help develop and lead a docket of trial-focused public interest cases during a period of great threat to civil rights and the rule of law. Our Senior Attorneys drive the impact litigation program by litigating complex trial-level cases, managing select cases in collaboration with pro bono counsel and co-counsel, and overseeing the legal work of our early-career fellows. This role requires strong collaboration across teams, strong litigation skills, and strong project management skills.

We will prioritize applications received by July 21. We will also consider a candidate with 4-6 years of legal experience for a Staff Attorney position.

Ideal candidates will also have one or more of the following:

Substantive expertise in state or federal litigation that protects the rights of underserved or historically excluded groups
Experience working within coalitions and community partnerships to build trust, identify issues ripe for litigation, and navigate stakeholder needs and views
Experience developing investigations into corporate or government actors
Experience within, or relationships with, local and state government offices seeking to enforce civil rights
Experience leading litigation case teams of 5+ people or multiple co-counsel

We are currently a hybrid organization with all staff working together from our downtown Los Angeles office every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and remotely the remainder of the week, except when meetings or events require otherwise. We strongly prefer candidates who will reside in Los Angeles as of their start date. For this role, we will also consider highly qualified candidates outside Los Angeles with the expectation that they work from our offices on a regular schedule in the first six months of the role.
