Mid-Level Associate (Santa Barbara, CA)

Description

Barrasso Usdin Kupperman Freeman & Sarver, an award-winning litigation boutique headquartered in New Orleans, LA, seeks a skilled and motivated attorney to join its team in Santa Barbara, CA.


Who we are: Barrasso is a small firm with a national reputation for trying high-stakes, complex, and challenging cases. We have been named Louisiana Law Firm of the Year by Benchmark Litigation eleven times and named a top tier firm in Louisiana for commercial litigation by Chambers USA for over twenty years.


Who we want:

  • 3-10 years solid litigation experience –  particularly in the complex commercial, insurance, financial services, or products liability spaces 
  • A top 10% placement in your law school class, law review placement, or a post-law school judicial clerkship—ideally, all three
  • A skilled writer and a critical thinker—someone who thrives on puzzling through complex cases to arrive at the best results for clients
  • Someone ready to hit the ground running and who is not afraid to take ownership of cases, with support from senior attorneys invested in your development
  • Someone who is looking for opportunities to handle depositions, argue motions, interface with clients, and be a critical member of trial teams

Why Join us?

  • A chance to do big-law work at a smaller firm
  • Top-of-the-market salary and bonus structure
  • Excellent benefits package, including health, dental, life, and disability insurance, and 401(k)
  • A culture that values hard work, camaraderie, personal and professional growth, and being a part of the local legal community
  • Real opportunities for advancement to equity partnership

Candidates should be licensed in California. Interested candidates should submit a résumé, cover letter detailing litigation experience, law school transcript, and writing sample via the application link. All applicants will remain confidential.
