A bit about us:

Founded nearly two decades ago and based in Beverly Glen, with seven offices across California, we are a 130+ attorney firm devoted exclusively to representing public schools, community colleges, educational institutions, and other public entities. We serve more than 500 education clients — school districts, SELPAs, county offices of education, private schools, government agencies, and municipalities. Our attorneys include former educators, school board members, and in-house counsel who bring firsthand operational knowledge to every engagement. That depth of institutional understanding is what separates us from generalist firms handling education work on the side.

Why join us?

  • Competitive base salary up to $225k (DOE) + quarterly and annual bonuses up to $50k
Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) with generous firm match and profit sharing
  • Generous PTO and paid holidays
  • 1,800 annual billable hours — structured to support sustainable, long-term practice
  • Hybrid remote — 3 days in office, 2 days remote
