Attorney - Construction - Los Angeles

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 Interested?
