This remains an active confidential search at partner level. The brief is revisited each cycle with the client, and the description below is the current version.

Senior litigation partner sought to lead and grow construction and real estate disputes from the San Diego office. The role requires hands-on matter leadership, running trials and hearings, supervising associates, and providing strategic advice on high-value construction and property matters.

Expect a business-development focus: developing client relationships, cross-selling with other practice areas, and contributing to office leadership and practice strategy. Strong local market presence and a demonstrable record of bringing in work are essential.

Established track record in construction and real estate litigation
Proven trial and dispute-resolution experience, including managing teams
Strong business development and client relationship skills
Bar admission in California (or ability to waive in)
Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)

Where the match is not obvious from the description, it is usually still worth talking — partner briefs move with the candidate.
