• Bankruptcy
  Distressed commercial real estate restructuring transactions abound, and we need attorneys representing lenders and borrowers, and attorneys who can advise secured lenders on enforcement and bankruptcy strategies. Partner and associate positions are available, and a few firms are considering adding small bankruptcy groups.
  
  
• Corporate
  The corporate market is getting stronger at last! We are seeing some money deals flowing, and corporate associate needs are in demand again -- M&A, capital markets, VC, all attorneys who practice within the corporate space are being sought. Most prominent firms would love to acquire self-sustaining corporate partners.
  
  
• Entertainment
  This is perhaps the most competitive area of law in California, yet firms have a fairly steady need for entertainment lawyers, both in litigation and on the transactional side, and most will hire opportunistically if an excellent resume is presented. We also handle in-house entertainment positions.
  
  
• Environmental and Energy
  There is a demand for environmental lawyers in the land use, CEQA, natural resources, regulatory and compliance areas. Several Los Angeles and Bay Area firms have asked us to locate junior, mid-level and senior environmental associates, as well as partners in both litigation and transactional capacities to fill their environmental ranks. Water Law is emerging as a growth area, and we have great needs for public and municipal law experience.
  
  
• ERISA, Tax, and Estate Planning
  We have hiring needs in these areas selectively. Excellent firms are seeking all levels of attorneys (junior to very senior).
  
  
• Health Care
  There is a need for litigation, regulatory and transactional attorneys in the health care arena.
  
  
• In-House

• Intellectual Property
  We are seeking patent prosecutors, patent litigators, trademark, copyright, and experience in a combination of all. We have positions available for attorneys with EE, physics, computer science, biotech, chemistry, ME and biomedical degrees, as well as non-technical undergraduate degrees. Opportunities exist up and down the California coast, and there is a particularly strong need for those with Ph.D.'s and M.S. credentials in the biotech area.
  
  
• Labor & Employment
  Employment litigators are in high demand! Several national and regional firms have stepped up their demands for Labor & Employment work, usually desiring a mix of litigation and counseling work. Wage and hour class action experience a plus. Associates and partners are encouraged to consider our portfolio of active listings.
  
  
• Litigation
  There is a steady demand for excellent litigators, from junior associates to partner-level attorneys. A wide variety of firms are seeking litigators in the areas of general commercial litigation, securities, white collar, labor, insurance coverage, health care, real estate, IP and antitrust. Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and Orange County firms, from national firms to small boutique shops are interested in strong litigation resumes.
  
  
• Real Estate
  Commercial real estate work has slowed. Partners with portable books are always marketable in this area, and experience in land use or environmental law is helpful. There is a trend to put real estate associate hiring “on hold”.
