Job Description
🚧 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 📩 If you’re open to hearing more, feel free to apply or send your resume to rebecca.oconnell@wearerevolution.co for a confidential chat
