Associate Attorney

Ascendion
Irvine, CA

Commercial Litigation Attorney (Boutique Trial Powerhouse)

While professional experience and qualifications are key for this role, make sure to check you have the preferable soft skills before applying if required.

The Opportunity

Join a premier, Tier-1 boutique trial firm that consistently outmaneuvers the nation’s largest Big Law outfits. This is not a "document review" role; we are a lean, elite team of "old-fashioned barristers" who live for high-stakes, bet-the-company litigation. If you want to be a trial lawyer, not just a litigator, this is where you belong.

The Work

You will handle sophisticated, high-tech IP, partnership disputes, and complex commercial litigation for a client roster that includes Fortune 100 giants and visionary founders. Every move we make is oriented toward trial, ensuring our associates gain experience and responsibility that takes years to achieve elsewhere.

What We’re Looking For

  • Associates: 2–5+ years of high-level litigation experience. You must be among the "sharpest and smartest" in the room. Top 20 Law School pedigree is highly preferred.
  • The X-Factor: Exceptional writing, analytical rigor, and a desire to "relish the battle." Federal clerkships are a significant plus.

Salary and Other Compensation: The annual salary for this position is between $250,000 – $450,000. Factors which may affect pay within this range may include geography/market, skills, education, experience and other qualifications of the successful candidate.

  • Associate All-In: $400k–$600k+
  • Bonus Cycle: Consistent semi-annual bonuses in June and December.

Benefits: The Company offers the following benefits for this position, subject to applicable eligibility requirements:

  • Medical insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan

Why Apply?

  • Elite Culture: 100% Women-Owned and nationally recognized for excellence.
  • Lean Staffing: No "war of attrition." Every team member knows the whole case and plays a surgical role. xrczosw
  • Location: Based in beautiful Irvine, CA (In-office).
