Senior Counsel | Remote

California habitability litigation is evolving quickly, creating an opportunity for attorneys with experience in this space to build an increasingly valuable area of expertise.
The practice is currently focused heavily on

landlord tenant and habitability litigation

, along with general liability and personal injury matters.
Habitability is an important and developing area of California litigation, and we are actively growing our capabilities in this space.
You will handle matters involving

habitability claims, landlord tenant disputes, premises related issues, general negligence, personal injury, and other civil litigation.
Julee began her own career representing plaintiffs and understands the perspective and litigation skills plaintiff attorneys can bring to a defense practice. Attorneys coming from plaintiff habitability, real estate litigation, personal injury, elder abuse, nursing home litigation, or other substantive civil practices may be a strong fit.
Julee is an experienced trial attorney who has litigated matters involving catastrophic personal injury, general negligence, trucking, products liability, employment, and healthcare in both state and federal court.
She wants her attorneys thinking proactively and taking ownership, while keeping her connected so she can provide feedback, help with strategy, and step in when her experience can add value.

proactive, forward thinking, responsive, and energized by the practice of law.
Experience in landlord tenant litigation, habitability, real estate litigation, premises liability, general liability, personal injury, or related civil litigation is particularly valuable.
