Attorney II - Litigation Attorney at Knight Law Group LLP

Step Up. Sharpen Your Skills. Litigate with Purpose.

If you're an early-career litigator with a few trials under your belt and the hunger to do more, Knight Law Group offers the kind of opportunity most firms reserve for mid-career lawyers. We’re looking for an Associate Attorney with 2–4 years of litigation experience who’s ready to take on more autonomy, more courtroom time, and more meaningful work—without the grind of billable-hour quotas or business development pressure.

This is a full-time, onsite role at our Century City headquarters, where you’ll collaborate with powerhouse trial attorneys, refine your litigation voice, and play a direct role in delivering justice to California consumers.

We’re a leading California law firm specializing in consumer protection and mass tort litigation, with a deep bench in automotive lemon law, dealer fraud, and product liability. We’ve helped thousands of clients stand up to major corporations—and win. Our team is multilingual, mission-driven, and deeply committed to the pursuit of justice. If you're ready to join a firm with heart and horsepower, you're in the right place.
