Scale LLP is inviting experienced attorneys to join its growing national practice.

Who We Are:

Called the “Wave of the Future,” Scale LLP is a top-tier distributed law firm built by Silicon Valley founders and GCs to provide an alternative to a traditional private practice. By leveraging technology and a distributed structure, Scale provides attorneys with a more satisfying, flexible, lucrative practice and clients with a more connected, efficient legal service provider. Scale's attorneys work for a variety of clients across Corporate, Fintech, Intellectual Property, Real Estate and Litigation practice groups. Founded to support early-stage, venture-backed companies, we continue to bring a tech-forward, disruptive ethos to everything we do.

How We Work:
Scale attorneys are not salaried; instead, Scale pays attorneys a percentage of the fees collected from their clients. Unlike in a traditional law firm setting, where attorneys typically receive a third of the value they create for the law firm, Scale attorneys net a combination of collected origination and matter responsible fees.

Who We're Seeking:
We are always looking for excellent attorneys of all stripes to join our firm.

• Association as Counsel. We are willing to accept attorneys from senior in-house positions with no demonstrable book as counsel. Because the firm’s collections-based model only works for attorneys capable of developing client work, however, we require applicants to identify at least one anchor client and articulate a clear business development plan at association.
• Partnership. To be considered for a lateral partnership, we ask that applicants be prepared to demonstrate a significant transferrable book of originations. Attorneys who have less are welcome to apply for a position as counsel.

Minimum Qualifications:
Applicants must have at least 7 years of experience at an AmLaw 100 law firm, or in-house with a reputable company, have graduated from a top-tier law school, or be able to demonstrate an excellent and sustained reputation in industry.

In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.

At Scale LLP, we believe a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion is integral to hiring exceptional people and creating enduring businesses. We strive to create an organization where every individual is valued and empowered to reach their full potential. We are committed to ensuring Scale is one of the best places to work for all by creating diverse teams, strengthening our culture of inclusion, and giving everyone an equitable opportunity to succeed.

Scale LLP is proud to be an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer. We evaluate qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion (including religious dress and grooming practices), sex (including pregnancy, childbirth and related medical conditions, breastfeeding, and conditions related to breastfeeding), gender, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, ancestry, age (40 or over), physical or medical disability, medical condition, marital status, registered domestic partner status, sexual orientation, genetic information, military and/or veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by applicable state or federal law.

Scale LLP, a modern, fully distributed law firm, is seeking a midlevel attorney to join our growing litigation practice. Our firm is built for high-performing attorneys who want the freedom to shape and grow their practices, own their career path, and manage direct client relationships without the bureaucracy and overhead of traditional Big Law.

The Pitch

If you’re an experienced California litigator looking for meaningful work, greater autonomy, and the stability of at least 1,000 guaranteed hours, this Counsel opportunity offers the chance to build your practice while working alongside a highly respected litigator on complex matters involving some of the most recognizable names in the sports, recreation, hospitality, resort, and adventure industries.

You’ll have the opportunity to support clients including ski resorts, mountain bike parks, hotels, venues, equipment manufacturers and retailers, and industry trade associations, while gaining exposure to complex liability, catastrophic injury, risk management, and employment matters. For an attorney who enjoys the outdoors and wants their legal practice to connect with these industries, this is a particularly unique opportunity.

Who We’re Seeking

You’ll work closely with the Partner on sophisticated litigation matters, including catastrophic injury and liability disputes involving the ski, mountain biking, outdoor recreation, hospitality, resort, and adventure industries, as well as employment defense matters for Fortune 500 companies and insurance carriers.

Qualifications:

• Have at least 7-10 years of litigation experience, with a strong background in civil litigation.
• Be licensed to practice in California.
• Have strong legal writing skills and experience drafting dispositive motions and other substantive motions, as well as motions to compel, meet-and-confer correspondence, and other pre-trial filings. 
• Can independently manage significant portions of a case and confidently handle routine client and case-related inquiries.
• Exercise sound judgment and proactively identify issues and solutions without requiring close supervision.
• Produce thoughtful, concise, and high-quality work product with strong attention to detail.
• Are highly responsive, organized, and comfortable managing multiple active matters in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
• Communicate effectively with clients and colleagues, providing timely updates and practical recommendations.
• Experience with catastrophic injury, premises liability, employment defense, risk management, or matters involving the outdoor recreation or hospitality industries is a plus.

Who We Are:

Senior Counsel | Complex Trial Team – Sexual Torts Defense | California

Sophisticated Cases. Exceptional Trial Attorneys. Meaningful Work.

Please note: An active California Bar license is required.

Tyson & Mendes is seeking an accomplished Senior Counsel to join a specialized Complex Trial Team defending some of the most sensitive and high-exposure matters in civil litigation, including cases involving allegations of sexual assault, child sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, and institutional liability.

This is not a traditional insurance defense position. These matters require exceptional judgment, discretion, strategic thinking, and the ability to navigate complex factual and legal issues with professionalism and sensitivity.

For an experienced litigator looking to deepen their expertise in this highly specialized practice area, this is an opportunity to work alongside exceptional trial attorneys and mentors while taking on sophisticated, meaningful litigation.

Work Alongside Proven Trial Leaders

The team is led by Equity Partner Susan Oliver, an accomplished California litigator with extensive experience handling catastrophic personal injury, sexual torts, employment practices, and medical malpractice matters.

Susan is known for identifying creative and novel legal strategies in complex cases. Her recent successes include obtaining summary judgment in two significant matters, collectively saving clients more than $100 million. Her experience extends from California state and federal courts to the California Courts of Appeal and the Ninth Circuit, as well as stepping into major cases late in litigation to evaluate, reposition, and prepare them for trial.

She works alongside other highly experienced partners and trial attorneys who are committed to collaboration, mentorship, and developing the next generation of sophisticated litigators.

Build Expertise in a Highly Specialized Practice

You’ll work on complex matters involving allegations of sexual assault, child sexual abuse, misconduct, and institutional liability; cases that can involve significant exposure, complicated legal issues, extensive discovery, expert testimony, and substantial reputational considerations for clients.

Senior Counsel are trusted to bring their own experience and judgment to the table while having access to seasoned trial attorneys for strategy, collaboration, and mentorship.

Why Tyson & Mendes?

Sophisticated, High-Exposure Work – Handle challenging matters that demand thoughtful strategy and strong litigation skills.

Exceptional Mentorship – Work alongside Susan Oliver and other accomplished trial attorneys who understand what it takes to successfully position and try complex cases.

Meaningful Case Ownership – Take an active role in strategy, discovery, depositions, experts, dispositive motions, client counseling, and trial preparation.

National Resources – Benefit from the resources of a national litigation firm, including trial training and experienced litigation support.

Collaborative Culture – Join a team where experienced attorneys share ideas, strategize together, and support one another.

Flexibility – We offer flexibility while maintaining the collaboration and connection necessary for complex litigation.

Who Will Thrive Here

This opportunity is ideal for a seasoned civil litigator who is comfortable handling sensitive, emotionally complex, and high-exposure matters and wants to continue developing as a trial attorney.

Experience involving sexual assault, abuse, institutional liability, catastrophic injury, professional liability, medical malpractice, or similarly complex litigation is highly valuable. Just as important are excellent judgment, discretion, strong writing and analytical skills, and the ability to communicate effectively with clients, witnesses, experts, and opposing counsel.

Bring Your Experience. Deepen Your Expertise.

If you’re looking for more than another insurance defense position, and want the opportunity to develop a highly specialized practice alongside accomplished trial attorneys, we’d love to talk.

Join Tyson & Mendes and help shape the next generation of our Complex Trial Team.

Build Your Next Chapter With a Team That Will Make You a Better Trial Lawyer

Please note: An active Florida Bar license is required for this position.

There’s a point in your litigation career when the right opportunity isn’t simply about finding another firm. It’s about finding the right cases, the right mentors, and the right environment to keep growing.

Tyson & Mendes is looking for an experienced Florida defense attorney to join a busy litigation team handling sophisticated, high-exposure matters throughout Central Florida. This is an opportunity for an attorney who already has a strong foundation in litigation but wants to sharpen their skills alongside attorneys who are regularly in the courtroom.

You’ll work closely with two of Tyson & Mendes’ accomplished trial attorneys, Holly Howanitz and Stefani Cogsdale, gaining meaningful exposure to case strategy, motion practice, discovery, depositions, trial preparation, and trials themselves.

If you’re a strong writer, a thoughtful strategist, and the kind of attorney who takes ownership of your work while still wanting to learn from great lawyers, we’d love to meet you.

The Work

This isn’t a volume practice built around handling the same type of case over and over. The team handles sophisticated and often high-exposure litigation, including trucking and motor vehicle matters, premises liability, surgical and medical-related cases, and other complex liability matters.

You’ll have the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of your cases while collaborating closely with attorneys who care deeply about strategy, preparation, and getting the details right.

The Attorney Who Will Thrive Here

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in excellent work product. You’re a strong legal writer, comfortable with substantive motion practice and discovery, and able to independently move assignments and cases forward.

You’re also coachable. You welcome thoughtful feedback because you want to keep getting better, and once expectations are clear, you can run with them.

Ideally, you’ll bring 5–8 years of litigation experience, including insurance defense, along with substantive experience in discovery and motion practice. Trial experience is highly valued, but if you haven’t yet had significant courtroom opportunities, what matters is that you want them.

Law Review or another demonstrated record of exceptional legal research and writing is particularly attractive for this team.

Two Trial Lawyers in Your Corner

One of the biggest reasons to consider this opportunity is the leadership around you.

You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with Holly and Stefani, two highly experienced trial attorneys at Tyson & Mendes, on significant Florida matters. They are hands-on, engaged leaders who care about developing strong lawyers and producing exceptional work.

This is a great fit for someone who wants genuine mentorship—not just a name assigned to them on an organizational chart.

You’ll be trusted to work independently, but you won’t be left to figure everything out alone. As you build trust and demonstrate your capabilities, you’ll have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility and continue developing as a litigator.

Your Experience Should Open Doors, not Put You in a Box.

Please note: An active California Bar license is required.

At this stage in your career, you know what kind of lawyer you are. You also know the difference between simply managing a caseload and being somewhere you can continue to grow, take ownership, try cases, and make an impact.

Tyson & Mendes is growing our Northern California team, and we’re looking for experienced litigators who want meaningful responsibility and the freedom to practice with confidence, while still having experienced trial lawyers and a highly collaborative team behind them.

Based out of our Novato office and serving matters throughout Northern California and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, our attorneys handle substantive insurance defense and civil litigation with real opportunities to develop cases from beginning to end.

If you’re a proactive litigator who takes ownership, communicates well, and wants your performance (not simply your years in practice) to determine what comes next, this may be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Why Northern California?

Own Your Cases
Senior attorneys here aren't waiting for someone else to move a case forward. You'll be trusted to develop strategy, manage client relationships, handle discovery and motion practice, take and defend depositions, prepare matters for trial, and make the decisions that move your cases toward the best possible outcome.

Get Closer to the Courtroom
This is a true litigation practice. Our Northern California attorneys handle matters with meaningful trial exposure, and several of our experienced attorneys regularly take cases to verdict. If you want to continue developing as a trial lawyer, or simply want to work alongside attorneys who actually try cases; you'll find those opportunities here.

Experience a Meritocracy, Not a Waiting Game
We don't believe your next opportunity should be determined solely by how long you've occupied a particular title. Tyson & Mendes rewards contribution, performance, initiative, and leadership. Attorneys who distinguish themselves have advocates who notice and opportunities to continue advancing.

Collaborate Without Losing Your Autonomy
Our Northern California attorneys operate as a highly collaborative group. Teams share knowledge, resources, and even attorneys when it makes sense, creating exposure to different lawyers, matters, and approaches. At the same time, experienced attorneys who prefer consistency within their team can build that rhythm as well.

Flexibility With a Real Office to Come Home To
Our Novato office offers genuine flexibility. Some attorneys enjoy being in regularly, others work hybrid schedules, and our broader support structure accommodates remote work. Attorneys who consistently come in at least twice a week can establish a permanent office space. The goal isn't facetime: it's giving experienced attorneys an environment where they can do their best work.

The Kind of Attorney Who Thrives Here

You're experienced enough to know that autonomy comes with accountability.

You take ownership of your cases and your client relationships. You follow up without being chased. You communicate proactively. You understand the realities of a busy litigation practice and can think, do, and bill, while maintaining excellent work product and client service.

Insurance defense experience is highly valued, but we also recognize that great litigators come from different backgrounds. Attorneys with substantive civil litigation, plaintiff-side, criminal, construction, professional liability, or other complex litigation experience may bring skills that translate well to our practice.

We're less interested in pedigree than we are in grit, judgment, initiative, and performance. We want people who have challenged themselves, learned from experience, and are still interested in becoming better lawyers.

Support When You Need It. Trust When You've Earned It.

Our attorneys are busy, practicing litigators, so this isn't an environment built around unnecessary meetings or constant oversight.

Instead, you'll find experienced attorneys who are highly responsive when you reach out, willing to share their knowledge, and invested in helping colleagues succeed. The attorneys who get the most from this environment are the ones who engage: ask questions, seek feedback, participate, and build relationships across the office.

Monthly office meetings, team meetings, social events, and informal traditions give attorneys opportunities to connect beyond their individual caseloads.

Serious Litigation. People Who Don't Take Themselves Too Seriously.

You can be an excellent trial lawyer without making the practice of law unnecessarily rigid.

Our Northern California team includes accomplished attorneys who work hard, collaborate closely, and still enjoy the people they work with. There's room for personality here and an appreciation for attorneys who can handle serious matters without taking themselves too seriously.

What matters is that you show up for your clients, your cases, and your colleagues.

Make Your Experience Count

If you're looking for a place where you'll be trusted to practice, challenged to keep growing, and recognized for what you contribute, we'd like to meet you.

Bring your experience. Bring your grit. Bring your personality.

Join Tyson & Mendes in Northern California and see where your experience can take you next.

Senior Counsel | Medical Malpractice Defense | Los Angeles 

Bring Your Experience to a Team That Will Trust You to Use It. 

Tyson & Mendes is seeking an experienced Senior Counsel with 8+ years of litigation experience to join our Los Angeles Medical Malpractice team. 

This opportunity is designed for a seasoned litigator who is comfortable taking ownership of sophisticated matters, exercising independent judgment, working directly with clients, and moving cases forward. 

If you have built a strong foundation in medical malpractice, professional liability, healthcare litigation, or complex insurance defense and are ready for greater responsibility, we want to talk. 

Sophisticated Healthcare Litigation 

You will work alongside Partner Mark Kiefer, whose nearly 40 year practice focuses on healthcare and medical and professional malpractice. 

Mark represents a broad range of healthcare professionals and organizations, including hospitals, physicians, nurses, dentists, psychologists, psychiatrists, skilled nursing facilities, detox centers, correctional healthcare providers, home healthcare professionals, EMTs, and paramedics. 

His practice also includes elder abuse, wrongful death, personal injury, and general liability matters. 

For an attorney who enjoys the intersection of medicine, law, strategy, experts, and high stakes litigation, this is an opportunity to build deep experience in a sophisticated practice. 

Work With a Recognized Medical Malpractice Litigator 

Mark brings nearly four decades of litigation experience and is AV Preeminent rated by Martindale Hubbell. 

His experience includes litigating the landmark California Supreme Court case Wilson v. Parker, Cover & Chidester, which established the interim adverse judgment rule. 

He is also a frequent CE and CLE presenter and previously served as Special Counsel and Managing Partner before joining Tyson & Mendes. 

Your Experience Matters Here 

At the Senior Counsel level, we're not looking for someone who needs every next step mapped out. 

We're looking for someone who can take ownership. 

You should be comfortable: 

• Managing sophisticated matters and competing deadlines
• Developing and executing case strategy
• Taking and defending depositions
• Working with medical experts
• Handling substantive motion practice
• Communicating directly with clients and carriers
• Evaluating exposure and driving cases toward resolution or trial 

Mark maintains a significant caseload, making this an especially strong opportunity for an experienced attorney who enjoys autonomy and knows how to keep litigation moving. Pasted text 

Flexibility Without Sacrificing Sophisticated Work 

Our Los Angeles practice operates primarily remotely, with attorneys coming together when the work requires it, including court appearances, depositions, trial preparation and client needs.  

For an experienced attorney, that means the flexibility to manage your practice while still handling substantive, high level litigation. 

You've Built Your Experience. Put It to Work. 

At this point in your career, you shouldn't need someone standing over your shoulder. 

You need interesting cases, meaningful responsibility, trusted autonomy, flexibility, and experienced lawyers around you when you need them. 

Bring your experience to Team LA and help us continue building one of our most sophisticated litigation practices.

Take Your Lemon Law Practice Somewhere It Can Grow

Senior Counsel | Lemon Law Litigation | Northern California

Please note: An active California Bar license is required.

You already know Lemon Law litigation. You understand the pace, the strategy, the clients, and the nuances of California’s Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. At this point in your career, the question is where you can put that experience to work while continuing to grow as a litigator.

Tyson & Mendes is expanding our Northern California team, and we are looking for an experienced attorney with Lemon Law, automotive warranty, or related consumer litigation experience who is ready to take meaningful ownership of cases and client relationships.

Based out of our Novato office and handling matters throughout Northern California and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, you will join a collaborative team of litigators with the resources and reach of a national trial firm behind you.

If you are looking for autonomy, substantive litigation, strong colleagues, and a place where your performance can create opportunity, we would love to meet you.

Why Our Northern California Team?

Take Ownership of Your Practice

As Senior Counsel, you will be trusted to manage matters with confidence. You will develop case strategy, oversee discovery, take and defend depositions, handle substantive motion practice, work directly with clients, evaluate exposure, and prepare cases for mediation and trial.

We are looking for an experienced attorney who can see what needs to happen next and take the initiative to make it happen.

Bring Your Lemon Law Experience

Your knowledge of California Lemon Law and consumer warranty litigation will be valued here.

We are particularly interested in attorneys with experience handling matters arising under the Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, automotive warranty disputes, consumer litigation, and related product matters.

Experience representing manufacturers, automotive companies, dealerships, or other corporate defendants is highly valued. We are also open to experienced litigators whose backgrounds provide a strong foundation for transitioning into the defense of these matters.

Keep Developing as a Trial Lawyer

Our Northern California office offers true litigation experience and meaningful opportunities for attorneys who want to strengthen their courtroom skills.

Several attorneys within the group regularly take cases to trial, giving Senior Counsel the opportunity to work alongside experienced trial lawyers and continue building their own trial experience.

You will not be limited to simply processing cases. We want attorneys who are interested in developing strategy, advocating for their clients, and becoming stronger litigators.

Work With People Who Collaborate

Our Northern California group operates as a genuinely collaborative team. Attorneys share knowledge, resources, and experience, and there is flexibility to work across teams and matters when it makes sense.

Our leaders are busy practicing attorneys, so experienced lawyers are given room to work. At the same time, colleagues are responsive when you want another perspective, need to talk through strategy, or simply have a question.

The attorneys who thrive here communicate, engage, ask questions, and take ownership.

Let Your Performance Create Opportunity

Tyson & Mendes is a meritocracy. We believe performance, initiative, client service, leadership, and contribution should matter when determining what comes next in your career.

For attorneys who distinguish themselves, there are opportunities to take on greater responsibility and continue advancing within the firm.

Who Will Thrive Here?

You are an experienced California litigator who is proactive, communicative, and comfortable managing a busy practice.

Ideally, you bring substantive experience in Lemon Law defense, automotive warranty litigation, consumer litigation, or related complex civil litigation.

You are comfortable with discovery, depositions, motion practice, case strategy, client communication, mediation, and trial preparation. You understand how to keep cases moving and how to communicate effectively with clients throughout the process.

You do not need someone constantly checking in to make sure the next step happens. You take responsibility, follow through, and ask for input when collaboration will make the outcome stronger.

We care less about pedigree and more about grit, judgment, initiative, communication, and excellent work.

Flexibility Without Losing Connection

This position offers the flexibility to work remotely while still providing a real office and team when you want the connection.

Our Novato office is available to attorneys who want or need to come in, whether occasionally or as part of a regular hybrid schedule. Attorneys who consistently work from the office at least twice a week can establish a permanent office space.

You will also have access to experienced legal assistant, paralegal, administrative, and trial support resources, along with our long tenured Office Manager, Pilar Romero, who provides hands on support to the attorneys in the office.

Monthly office meetings, team meetings, and social events create additional opportunities to stay connected to colleagues throughout Northern California.

Bring What You Know. Keep Building What Comes Next.

You have already built valuable experience. Your next move should give you somewhere to use it while continuing to become the lawyer you want to be.

At Tyson & Mendes, you can bring your Lemon Law experience to a collaborative Northern California practice, take ownership of meaningful matters, continue developing your litigation and trial skills, and build toward the next stage of your career.

If you are ready for a place where your experience, initiative, and performance are valued, we would love to meet you.

Join Tyson & Mendes in Northern California and see where your experience can take you next.

Take Your Landlord Tenant Practice Further

Senior Counsel | Landlord Tenant Litigation | Northern California

Please note: An active California Bar license is required.

Landlord tenant litigation requires more than knowing the law. The cases can be fact intensive, highly personal, and increasingly complex. They require attorneys who can see the bigger picture, communicate clearly with clients, and confidently take ownership from the first evaluation through resolution or trial.

Tyson & Mendes is growing our Northern California team, and we are looking for an experienced attorney with a strong background in landlord tenant and habitability litigation who is ready for meaningful responsibility and the opportunity to continue developing as a trial lawyer.

Based out of our Novato office and handling matters throughout Northern California and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, you will join a collaborative group of litigators handling sophisticated civil defense matters with the resources of a national trial firm behind them.

If you know this practice, enjoy the strategy behind complex cases, and want an environment where your experience and initiative are valued, we would love to meet you.

Why Our Northern California Team?

Take Ownership of Sophisticated Matters

As Senior Counsel, you will have the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of your cases and client relationships. You will develop strategy, manage discovery, handle substantive motion practice, take and defend depositions, work with experts, evaluate exposure, prepare matters for mediation and trial, and guide cases toward resolution.

We are looking for an attorney who is comfortable being the person clients and colleagues can rely on to keep a matter moving.

Build on Your Landlord Tenant Experience

Your experience matters here. We are particularly interested in attorneys who have handled matters involving habitability, premises liability, property related disputes, and other landlord tenant claims.

You will have the opportunity to bring that knowledge to a growing practice while continuing to expand the complexity and scope of the matters you handle.

Get Real Trial Exposure

Our Northern California office is a true litigation practice. Several attorneys on the team regularly take cases to trial, creating meaningful opportunities for experienced attorneys who want to strengthen their courtroom experience.

Whether you already have trials behind you or want more opportunities to get there, you will be surrounded by attorneys who actually try cases.

Work With Experienced Litigators

Our Northern California team includes accomplished trial attorneys who are serious about their cases without taking themselves too seriously.

This is a collaborative environment where attorneys share ideas, resources, and experience. Our leaders are busy practicing attorneys, so they are not interested in micromanaging experienced lawyers. They are, however, responsive and available when you seek input, want to talk strategy, or need another perspective.

You will have autonomy, but you will not practice in isolation.

Let Your Performance Create Opportunity

Tyson & Mendes is a meritocracy. Career growth is driven by performance, initiative, contribution, and leadership rather than simply waiting for the next step based on tenure.

For attorneys who take ownership, build strong client relationships, contribute to their teams, and consistently perform at a high level, there is room to continue growing.

Who Will Thrive Here?

You are an experienced litigator who understands that great case management starts with ownership.

You are proactive and communicative. You follow up. You think ahead. You understand your clients and their objectives, and you are comfortable making decisions while knowing when collaboration will make the strategy stronger.

You bring substantive experience in landlord tenant litigation, ideally including habitability matters and related property or premises claims. Experience representing property owners, property managers, housing providers, insurers, or other defendants is particularly valuable.

You are comfortable with discovery, depositions, substantive motion practice, experts, mediation, and trial preparation. Trial experience is highly valued.

Just as importantly, you bring grit, good judgment, strong communication, and a willingness to contribute to the team.

We are not focused on pedigree. We are focused on finding excellent lawyers who know how to get the work done.

Flexibility With Connection

Our Novato office gives attorneys flexibility in how they work while still providing a real place to connect with colleagues when they want it.

Some attorneys work primarily remotely, while others maintain hybrid schedules or spend significant time in the office. Attorneys who consistently come in at least twice a week can establish a permanent office space.

The team also comes together through monthly Friday office meetings, team meetings, social events, and informal opportunities to connect.

You will have access to experienced administrative, legal assistant, paralegal, and trial support resources, including our long tenured Office Manager, Pilar Romero, who provides hands on support to the office and its attorneys.

Bring Your Experience. Keep Building.

At the Senior Counsel level, you should not have to choose between autonomy and opportunity.

Here, you can own your practice, handle challenging matters, learn from experienced trial lawyers, contribute to a collaborative Northern California team, and continue building toward whatever you want the next stage of your career to become.

If you are an experienced landlord tenant litigator ready for what comes next, we would love to meet you.

Join Tyson & Mendes in Northern California and bring your experience to a team where it can make an impact.

Bring Your Landlord Tenant Experience. Build What Comes Next. 

Senior Counsel | Landlord Tenant, Habitability and General Liability | Los Angeles 

An active California Bar license is required. 

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

Tyson & Mendes is growing our Los Angeles practice, and Partner Julee Fritsch Earley is looking for an experienced litigator to join her team. The practice is currently focused heavily on landlord tenant and habitability litigation, along with general liability and personal injury matters. 

This is an opportunity to bring the experience you have already developed to a growing practice, take meaningful ownership of cases, and work with a partner who genuinely enjoys mentoring attorneys. 

Build Expertise in a Growing Practice 

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. 

Landlord tenant or habitability experience is particularly valuable, but your background does not have to come from the defense side. 

Plaintiff attorneys are encouraged to apply. 

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. 

Work With a Partner Who Actually Wants to Mentor 

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 is also happiest when she is mentoring and developing attorneys. 

Her leadership style balances independence with support. 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. 

The team meets weekly to discuss cases and strategy, and Julee also spends individual time with her attorneys for deeper case discussions. 

You will have room to practice independently without having to figure everything out alone. 

Keep Building as a Litigator 

Senior Counsel can arrive with very different experiences, and we recognize that years in practice do not always tell the entire story. 

You may already have significant deposition and trial experience. Or you may have spent years handling substantive civil litigation without being given enough opportunities to get into the courtroom. 

We are interested in the skills and judgment you bring and where you want to go next. 

For the right attorney, there is an opportunity to develop into a strong second chair, expand trial experience, and take on greater responsibility as the team grows. 

See a Real Path Forward 

Julee understands what it feels like to wonder whether there is actually room to advance. 

After spending 10 years at another firm without the pathway she wanted, she joined Tyson & Mendes as Senior Counsel and advanced to Partner. 

Today, she is intentional about developing attorneys and encouraging leadership. 

Tyson & Mendes is transparent about advancement and believes strong performance, initiative, judgment, client service, and leadership should create opportunities for attorneys who want to continue growing. 

Modern Tools for Modern Litigation 

Our attorneys have access to Tyson & Mendes' APEX methodology, Trial Academy, and nationally recognized approach to Stopping Nuclear Verdicts®, along with modern case management systems, advanced research resources, and AI enabled legal technology. 

These tools are designed to support great lawyering, not replace it, giving attorneys additional ways to work strategically and efficiently while focusing their time on the parts of the practice where their judgment matters most. 

Who Will Thrive Here? 

We are looking for an experienced California litigator who is 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. 

Insurance defense experience is helpful, including familiarity with carrier relationships and billing requirements, but it is not required. 

We want attorneys who bring ideas to the table, think about what should happen next, communicate proactively, and enjoy being part of a team that takes the work seriously. 

Flexibility With Real Connection 

Julee leads her team remotely and understands the realities of practicing across the Los Angeles region. 

The team stays connected through weekly meetings, individual case strategy discussions, regular communication, and close coordination with support staff. 

We care less about where you sit every day and more about responsiveness, communication, excellent work, and staying connected to your team and cases. 

Bring Your Experience. Keep Building. 

If you have developed valuable experience in habitability, landlord tenant, plaintiff, or civil litigation, you do not need to start over to build something new. 

Bring that perspective with you. 

Come work on sophisticated matters, learn from an experienced partner who loves developing attorneys, expand your trial skills, and build toward the next stage of your career. 

Join Julee Earley and the Tyson & Mendes Los Angeles team and help us continue building our California habitability and civil defense practice.

Pay Range$160,000—$190,000 USD

Don’t Just Join an Office. Help Build One.

Please note: An active California Bar license is required.

Tyson & Mendes is growing in the Inland Empire, and we’re looking for experienced litigators who want more than simply a new place to practice.

This is an opportunity to get in early.

As we build our Inland Empire presence and establish our future office in Redlands, we’re looking first for experienced Senior Counsel-level attorneys who can handle cases independently, become trusted leaders, and ultimately help us build the teams around them.

The office is led by Pat Ferraris, an experienced litigator, former professor, and highly regarded mentor who is passionate about developing the next generation of attorneys and leaders. As the office grows, so will the opportunities for the attorneys who help build it.

If you’re looking for meaningful case responsibility, genuine mentorship, and the opportunity to have a voice in what a growing office becomes, we’d like to meet you.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Get in on the ground floor.
We’re building toward a team of approximately 10 attorneys in the Inland Empire, beginning with experienced attorneys who can become the foundation of future teams. You won’t be stepping into a structure that was built years ago: you’ll have an opportunity to help shape what comes next.

Learn from a leader who actually mentors.
Pat is known for being approachable, responsive, and invested in his attorneys. His approach is individualized to the lawyer: providing guidance and feedback when you need it while giving experienced attorneys the autonomy to manage their work without unnecessary micromanagement.

Build toward leadership.
We’re not simply filling caseloads. We’re building the next generation of leaders for this office. For attorneys with the experience, ability, and interest, the growth of the Inland Empire team can create meaningful opportunities for team leadership, partnership, and future office leadership.

Handle substantive litigation.
The team handles matters throughout the Inland Empire and beyond, including automobile liability, premises liability, product liability, and other civil litigation. Attorneys with backgrounds in medical malpractice, professional liability, construction defect, and related defense practices are also encouraged to apply.

Work with a team that values people.
We’re looking for attorneys who are not only strong litigators, but also good teammates: congenial, communicative, empathetic, flexible, and willing to support attorneys and staff alike. Trust and camaraderie are central to the kind of office we’re building.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re an experienced litigator who can take ownership of your cases and confidently move them forward. You know how to develop strategy, manage discovery and motion practice, communicate with clients, prepare matters for trial, and ask for input when it will make the case stronger.

Ideally, you bring 5+ years of litigation experience, preferably in insurance defense or another substantive civil litigation practice. First- or second-chair trial experience is particularly valuable, although we’re interested in strong litigators from adjacent practices who are ready to continue developing their trial skills.

Just as importantly, you’re someone others want on their team. You communicate. You collaborate. You’re receptive to feedback, willing to help others, and interested in being part of something that is still being built.

A Growing Home in the Inland Empire

Our Inland Empire team is currently working from collaborative office space while we build the team and determine the needs of our permanent Redlands-area office. Our cases are predominantly based throughout the Inland Empire, although attorneys may handle matters outside the immediate region as well.

For the right attorney, that growth is part of the opportunity.

You’ll have the resources and stability of a national litigation firm behind you, while joining a local team early enough to make your mark on its culture, growth, and future leadership.

Come Build It With Us

There are plenty of opportunities to join established offices.

This is an opportunity to help build one.

If you’re an experienced California litigator who wants autonomy without isolation, mentorship without micromanagement, and a genuine opportunity to grow into leadership as the office expands, we’d love to start a conversation.

Join Tyson & Mendes and help us build what’s next in the Inland Empire.

Big Cases. Small-Team Feel. The Resources to Do Your Best Work.

You’ve spent years developing your judgment as a litigator. At this stage of your career, you shouldn’t have to choose between autonomy and mentorship, flexibility and connection, or sophisticated work and the resources to do it well.

At Tyson & Mendes, our Scottsdale team offers the best of both worlds: the close-knit, collaborative feel of a boutique practice backed by the technology, infrastructure, training, and national reach of a leading insurance defense firm.

We’re looking for an experienced Arizona insurance defense attorney with 8+ years of litigation experience who is ready to take ownership of meaningful, complex work while continuing to grow alongside skilled and supportive leadership.

Remote work opportunities are available.

An active Arizona Bar license is required.

Work That Challenges You

This isn't a high-volume practice built around simply moving files.

Our Scottsdale attorneys have the opportunity to work on high-value, sophisticated matters involving catastrophic and complex liability, wrongful death, and other significant litigation where strategy, judgment, and experience truly matter.

These are cases that give experienced litigators room to think, lead, advise, and make an impact.

Serious cases deserve serious attorneys.

Autonomy Without Going It Alone

At the Senior Counsel level, you've earned the ability to run your cases and make decisions.

We believe in giving experienced attorneys that trust.

You'll have meaningful autonomy and ownership of your matters, while working with accomplished leaders who are available to strategize, mentor, collaborate, and help you continue sharpening your practice.

Our smaller Scottsdale team also means relationships matter. You can know the people you work with, have access to leadership, mentor others, and play a visible role in the success and growth of the office.

Boutique Feel. National Foundation.

You get the intimacy of a smaller team without having to operate like a small firm.

Behind our Scottsdale office is the infrastructure of a national litigation firm; resources, operational support, professional development, sophisticated clients, training, and colleagues across the country who can be tapped for experience and expertise.

You don't get lost in the organization. You get the organization behind you.

Technology That Works for the Lawyer

The practice of law is changing quickly. We believe your firm should be moving forward with it.

Tyson & Mendes continues to invest in AI-enabled legal tools, advanced case-management technology, modern research resources, and technology designed to help attorneys capture billable time more effectively and reduce unnecessary administrative friction.

We want our attorneys spending more of their time doing what experienced attorneys do best: thinking, strategizing, advocating, advising clients, and winning cases.

A Different Approach to Litigation

Our attorneys don't simply inherit a way of practicing because "that's how it's always been done."

Through our APEX methodology, nationally recognized Trial Academy, and our approach to Stopping Nuclear Verdicts®, we give attorneys proven strategies and frameworks they can put to work on significant cases.

You'll have the freedom to bring your own experience and judgment to the table—and additional tools to make you even better.

Maybe You're Not Looking. Maybe You're Ready for Something Better.

You may already be successful where you are.

But if you're an experienced Arizona litigator wondering whether there's a firm where you could have greater autonomy, sophisticated work, strong mentorship, modern technology, remote flexibility, and the resources of a national platform without sacrificing the connection of a smaller team, we'd like to talk.

Bring us the experience you've built. We'll give you the runway to see where you can take it next.

Tyson & Mendes is hiring in Scottsdale. Apply today and start the conversation.

Your Next Role Could Be Bigger Than Your Caseload

Senior Counsel | Connecticut

Please note: An active Connecticut Bar license is required. Admission in New York is highly valued but not required.

Tyson & Mendes is growing in Connecticut, and we are looking for an experienced trial attorney who wants the opportunity to do more than simply join an established practice.

This is an opportunity to help grow one.

Our Connecticut practice is expanding, creating an opportunity for the right Senior Counsel to take meaningful ownership of cases, develop client relationships, help strengthen our presence in the market, and grow into greater leadership as the office develops.

You will have the autonomy expected of an experienced attorney, along with the support of accomplished trial lawyers and the resources of a national litigation firm.

If you are an experienced Connecticut defense attorney who can independently manage complex litigation, has meaningful trial experience, and is excited by the opportunity to help build something, we would love to meet you.

Why This Opportunity?

Help Build Our Connecticut Practice

We are growing our presence in Connecticut, and the attorneys who join us during this stage will have an opportunity to contribute to what the office becomes.

For the right attorney, this means more than managing cases. It is an opportunity to become a trusted senior member of the practice, help develop teams and relationships, and position yourself for greater leadership as we continue to grow.

Practice With Independence

At the Senior Counsel level, we are looking for someone who knows how to run litigation.

You will be trusted to develop case strategy, manage discovery, take and defend depositions, handle substantive motion practice, communicate directly with clients and carriers, work with experts, evaluate exposure, and prepare matters for mediation and trial.

This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who appreciates autonomy, takes initiative, and does not need someone managing every step of the process.

Work Under Exceptional Trial Leadership

Our Connecticut attorneys are led by Danielle Pascale, New York and Connecticut Branch Office Managing Partner, an accomplished trial attorney who spent 21 years as a prosecutor before transitioning to civil defense. Her extensive courtroom experience includes trying numerous felony matters and leading highly complex investigations and prosecutions.

The Connecticut practice also falls within the Northeast Region led by Cathleen Kelly Rebar, Northeast Regional Managing Partner, who brings more than two decades of complex litigation and trial experience. Her career includes significant defense results in high exposure matters, prior service as an Assistant District Attorney and Deputy Attorney General, and leadership within private practice.

Together, they bring significant courtroom experience, strong leadership, and a deep understanding of complex litigation.

For an experienced attorney, that creates an attractive combination: room to lead your own matters with highly accomplished litigators behind you.

Bring Your Trial Experience

We are looking for an attorney who has actually been in the courtroom.

Trial experience is important for this position. You should be comfortable developing a matter with trial in mind and confident taking responsibility when a case needs to be tried.

Our practice involves sophisticated civil defense matters, and experience in insurance defense is strongly preferred. Relevant backgrounds may include general liability, premises liability, professional liability, products liability, medical malpractice, employment, toxic tort, or other complex civil defense litigation.

Connecticut litigation experience is particularly important because we need someone who understands the local courts, procedures, and practice environment and can contribute with a high degree of independence.

Admission in both Connecticut and New York would be particularly valuable as our Northeast practice continues to grow, but dual admission is not required.

Who Will Thrive Here?

You are experienced, self directed, and comfortable taking ownership.

You do not wait for someone else to determine what happens next on your cases. You think strategically, communicate proactively, follow through, and understand how to build trust with clients.

You also understand that independence and collaboration are not opposites. You are comfortable leading your own matters while sharing ideas, supporting colleagues, mentoring more junior attorneys, and asking for another perspective when it will make the strategy stronger.

Most importantly, you are interested in what comes next.

Maybe that means developing a team. Maybe it means expanding client relationships. Maybe it means taking on greater leadership as our Connecticut presence grows.

We want someone who sees that opportunity and wants to be part of it.

National Resources. Local Opportunity.

Joining a growing office does not mean building without support.

You will have the resources, technology, training, litigation support, and national platform of Tyson & Mendes behind you while working within a Northeast practice led by experienced trial attorneys.

That gives you the ability to make an impact locally while being connected to something much larger.

Come Help Us Build What’s Next in Connecticut

You have already proven that you can practice law.

Now you may be looking for an opportunity to lead, build, and have a greater impact on what comes next.

If you are an experienced Connecticut trial attorney who values independence, wants to work with excellent leadership, and is excited by the opportunity to help grow a practice, we would like to talk with you.

Join Tyson & Mendes in Connecticut and help us build what comes next.

Senior Counsel | Insurance Defense | Pennsylvania | Remote

You’ve Built the Experience. Now Put It to Work Somewhere That Values It.

Tyson & Mendes is seeking an experienced Senior Counsel with 8+ years of insurance defense experience to join our Philadelphia office.

This is an opportunity for a seasoned attorney who wants the best of both worlds: the autonomy to run your cases and make decisions, with access to highly experienced trial attorneys when you want collaboration, strategy, or another perspective.

Our Philadelphia office is led by experienced litigators Maureen Daley and Christopher Kelly, who bring different but complementary approaches to leadership and litigation.

Sophisticated Work. Experienced Leadership.

Our Philadelphia attorneys handle a broad range of complex civil defense matters, including:

• General and premises liability
• Commercial motor vehicle and trucking litigation
• Medical and professional liability
• Products liability
• Construction litigation
• Employment matters
• Insurance coverage and bad faith
• Commercial litigation
• Wrongful death and other high-exposure matters

Senior Counsel attorneys have the opportunity to own their matters, develop strategy, take and defend depositions, work with experts, handle substantive motions and mediations, communicate directly with clients and carriers, and prepare cases for trial.

Learn From Experience — Without Being Micromanaged

Maureen Daley brings more than 25 years of litigation experience in state and federal courts and has built a practice handling sophisticated corporate defense matters, including commercial transportation, premises liability, products liability, construction, and other complex litigation.

Chris Kelly brings decades of experience across general liability, professional liability, construction, trucking, commercial litigation, insurance coverage, and other high-stakes matters.

Together, they offer Senior Counsel something particularly valuable: access to experienced litigators and strategic collaboration without unnecessary layers or micromanagement.

You are trusted to use the judgment you've spent your career developing.

Trial Experience Matters Here

We are particularly interested in attorneys who have had meaningful exposure to trial, whether you've tried cases to verdict, served as second chair, or developed significant pretrial and courtroom experience.

For attorneys who want to continue building their trial credentials, Tyson & Mendes offers the opportunity to work alongside experienced trial lawyers and contribute meaningfully as cases move toward trial.

Remote + Connected

This is a remote position, offering experienced attorneys the flexibility to work where they are most productive while remaining connected to a collaborative Philadelphia team.

The culture is collegial, experienced, and low-ego. Attorneys pitch in, share knowledge, and support one another while still having the independence to manage their own work.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of insurance defense litigation experience
• Active Pennsylvania Bar license required
• Pennsylvania and New Jersey dual admission strongly preferred
• Significant independent case-management experience
• Strong discovery, deposition, mediation, and motion practice experience
• Trial experience strongly preferred
• Experience with general liability, premises liability, trucking/commercial auto, professional liability, construction, medical malpractice, or similar defense matters
• Strong client and carrier relationships and communication skills
• Prior billing experience
• Ability to independently develop strategy and move matters forward
• Collaborative, responsive, and willing to be part of a team

Your Experience Should Open Doors.

You've spent years developing your judgment, litigation skills, and reputation. Your next role should give you the opportunity to use them.

At Tyson & Mendes, you'll have autonomy without isolation, flexibility without sacrificing sophisticated work, and access to experienced litigators who understand what it takes to successfully defend complex cases.

Bring your experience. Keep building what's next.

Serious Work. Real Leadership. A Runway to Partnership.

You’ve built the experience. You know how to manage a case, command a courtroom, earn a client’s trust, and deliver when the stakes are high.

Now, what do you want the next chapter of your career to look like?

Tyson & Mendes is growing our Denver team, and we’re looking for an accomplished insurance defense litigator with 8+ years of experience who is ready for more. More leadership, more sophisticated work, greater autonomy, and a rapid pathway toward partnership.

This isn’t simply another Senior Counsel position. It’s an opportunity for an experienced attorney who wants the resources and reach of a national firm without losing the connection and entrepreneurial feel of a smaller office.

The Best of Both Worlds

Our Denver office offers something special: the feel of a boutique practice backed by the operational strength, resources, technology, and infrastructure of a national litigation firm.

You’ll report to an accomplished Regional Managing Partner who believes in mentoring talented attorneys, not micromanaging them. You'll have the support you need, the autonomy you've earned, and an opportunity to become an important part of the team's continued growth.

Serious Work for Serious Attorneys

We handle sophisticated, high-value litigation where strategy matters.

Our attorneys aren't simply processing files. They're defending significant cases, advising clients through complex risk, developing winning strategies, and putting our nationally recognized Nuclear Verdicts® defense methodologies into practice.

Through our APEX methodology, Trial Academy, and proven approach to stopping Nuclear Verdicts®, we've built a litigation culture centered around preparation, strategy, collaboration, and winning.

If you love the intellectual challenge of a difficult case and want meaningful opportunities to lead; you'll find them here.

Built for the Future of Legal Practice

We believe great lawyers should have great tools.

Tyson & Mendes continues to invest heavily in state-of-the-art technology, AI-enabled legal resources, modern case-management systems, and innovative billing technology designed to help attorneys capture their time more effectively and reduce administrative friction.

We're not waiting to see how technology changes the practice of law. We're actively building for it.

Your Next Step Could Be Partnership

For the right Senior Counsel candidate, we're looking beyond filling a position.

We're looking for someone with the leadership ability, litigation judgment, trial experience, and drive to become part of the future leadership of our firm.

If you've spent your career building the skills and reputation to operate at a high level, we want to give you the runway to use them.

8+ years of insurance defense experience and an active Colorado Bar license are required. Strong trial experience and demonstrated leadership are highly valued.

Ready for What's Next?

You don't need another job.

You need the right work, leadership, resources, technology, opportunity—and runway.

If you're ready to do serious work with a forward-thinking firm and explore a path toward partnership, we'd like to meet you.

Join Tyson & Mendes. Your next chapter could be your biggest yet.

Senior Counsel

You've Built Your Experience. Practice Somewhere That Trusts It.

Senior Counsel | Nevada | Flexible/Remote

Please note: An active Nevada Bar license is required.

At this point in your career, you don't need someone looking over your shoulder. You need a platform that trusts your judgment, gives you ownership of your matters and client relationships, and provides experienced leadership when you want another perspective.

That's what we're building in Nevada.

Led by Partner Griffith Hayes, our Nevada team handles a diverse civil defense practice that includes high-exposure premises liability, bodily injury, hospitality and casino matters, auto liability, dealership-related litigation, and broader general liability matters.

We're looking for experienced litigators who can independently manage sophisticated matters, communicate confidently with clients and carriers, and take ownership of cases from strategy through resolution or trial.

Why Experienced Attorneys Join Our Nevada Team

Autonomy Without Being on an Island

Griff's leadership style is straightforward: experienced attorneys should have room to practice. He is accessible when you need him, but he isn't interested in micromanaging attorneys who have demonstrated they can manage their work.

Own the Client Relationship

Senior attorneys communicate directly with carriers and clients and are trusted to manage strategy, expectations, exposure, and the progression of their matters.

A Flexible Nevada Practice

You do not have to live in Las Vegas to build a practice with our Nevada team.

Our attorneys work in a highly flexible environment, with many appearances handled virtually. Travel is expected when matters require it, including trials, court appearances, site inspections, trial preparation, and certain client needs.

Continue Building What's Yours

Your experience should create more options, not fewer.

Whether you want to deepen client relationships, try more cases, mentor other attorneys, develop an area of expertise, write, speak, or build your professional reputation, Tyson & Mendes provides resources to support the career you're building.

Who We're Looking For

We're interested in experienced litigators who are independent, responsive, communicative, and comfortable owning their matters.

Insurance defense experience is preferred, particularly experience involving general liability, premises liability, bodily injury, auto, hospitality, construction, or other complex civil matters.

We're also interested in accomplished litigators from other backgrounds who bring strong fundamentals, sound judgment, excellent communication skills, and the ability to transition successfully into a sophisticated civil defense practice.

Pay Range$160,000—$190,000 USD

Complex Cases. Real Autonomy. Leadership That Has Your Back.

Senior Counsel | New Jersey

An active New Jersey Bar license is required.

You know New Jersey litigation. You understand the courts, the clients, the carriers, and what it takes to move a significant case from early evaluation through resolution or trial.

Now you want a practice where you can use that experience.

Tyson & Mendes is growing our New Jersey office, and we are looking for an experienced insurance defense attorney who wants sophisticated work, meaningful autonomy, and access to leadership that stays engaged without managing every decision.

Our attorneys handle complex, high exposure matters, including multimillion dollar losses, professional liability, medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, and other significant civil defense litigation.

If you are a seasoned New Jersey defense attorney who likes to think ahead, take ownership, and practice with independence, we would like to meet you.

This Is a New Jersey Practice

We are looking for more than someone who happens to be admitted in New Jersey.

We want an attorney who knows how to litigate in New Jersey and brings at least five years of substantive insurance defense experience.

You understand local practice and procedure. You are comfortable with discovery, depositions, experts, substantive motion practice, client and carrier communication, mediation, and trial preparation.

Most importantly, you know how to take responsibility for a case and keep it moving.

Sophisticated Cases Without Getting Lost in Volume

Our New Jersey attorneys handle complex matters where judgment and strategy matter.

Cases may involve significant exposure, complicated liability issues, multiple parties, expert intensive litigation, professional liability, medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death.

The current practice is busy without being built around overwhelming file volume, allowing attorneys to spend meaningful time understanding their cases, developing strategy, and advising clients.

For an experienced litigator, that means the opportunity to practice law rather than simply process files.

Autonomy With a Leader Who Stays Connected

Our New Jersey office is led by Danielle DeGeorgio, New Jersey Branch Office Managing Partner, an experienced New Jersey litigator whose practice focuses on catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, insurance coverage, and professional malpractice.

Danielle's leadership style is built around trust, professionalism, and collaboration.

She wants experienced attorneys to practice. You will have room to develop strategy, make decisions, and take ownership of your matters without unnecessary micromanagement.

But autonomy does not mean being left on your own.

Danielle stays connected to her attorneys and cases, is available to strategize when needed, and provides guidance before a problem becomes a problem. She believes in giving good lawyers room to work while making sure they know their leadership is there when they need it.

Help Build a Strong New Jersey Team

Tyson & Mendes has been building its New Jersey presence since 2021, and the next stage is about continuing to develop a stable, experienced, highly collaborative local team.

This is a professional environment where people are expected to communicate, take initiative, follow through, and support one another.

For Senior Counsel, joining a growing office also creates visibility. Your experience matters, your contribution is noticed, and there are opportunities to help shape the team as the practice continues to develop.

Modern Tools for Complex Litigation

Sophisticated litigation requires more than experience. It also requires the right tools.

Tyson & Mendes continues to invest in AI enabled legal resources, advanced research technology, modern case management systems, and tools designed to help attorneys work more effectively and reduce administrative friction.

Our attorneys also have access to our APEX methodology, Trial Academy, and nationally recognized approach to Stopping Nuclear Verdicts®.

APEX provides a strategic framework for approaching litigation while allowing experienced attorneys to bring their own judgment, creativity, and perspective to each matter.

The goal is simple: give great litigators better tools to do their best work.

Who Will Thrive Here?

We are looking for an attorney with at least five years of meaningful New Jersey insurance defense experience who can independently manage complex litigation.

You are a self starter. You anticipate what comes next instead of waiting for someone to tell you. You communicate proactively with clients and colleagues. You understand the importance of deadlines, responsiveness, preparation, and professional judgment.

You are also collaborative. You enjoy exchanging ideas with other experienced attorneys, welcome another perspective when it strengthens your strategy, and contribute to the success of the people around you.

Above all, you take pride in being a New Jersey litigator and want to continue building your practice here.

Flexibility Without Isolation

Our New Jersey team values flexibility and has successfully built a collaborative practice with remote work.

At the same time, we believe there are moments when being together matters, particularly for trial preparation, witness preparation, strategy, mentoring, and team connection.

With our New Jersey presence continuing to develop, attorneys will have opportunities to connect with colleagues in person while maintaining the flexibility experienced lawyers value.

Bring Your Experience. Help Build What Comes Next.

If you are already a strong New Jersey insurance defense attorney, you do not need someone telling you how to practice every day.

Your Experience Should Open Doors, not Put You in a Box.

Please note: An active California Bar license is required.

At this stage in your career, you know what kind of lawyer you are. You also know the difference between simply managing a caseload and being somewhere you can continue to grow, take ownership, try cases, and make an impact.

Tyson & Mendes is growing our Northern California team, and we’re looking for experienced litigators who want meaningful responsibility and the freedom to practice with confidence, while still having experienced trial lawyers and a highly collaborative team behind them.

Based out of our Novato office and serving matters throughout Northern California and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, our attorneys handle substantive insurance defense and civil litigation with real opportunities to develop cases from beginning to end.

If you’re a proactive litigator who takes ownership, communicates well, and wants your performance (not simply your years in practice) to determine what comes next, this may be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Why Northern California?

Own Your Cases
Senior attorneys here aren't waiting for someone else to move a case forward. You'll be trusted to develop strategy, manage client relationships, handle discovery and motion practice, take and defend depositions, prepare matters for trial, and make the decisions that move your cases toward the best possible outcome.

Get Closer to the Courtroom
This is a true litigation practice. Our Northern California attorneys handle matters with meaningful trial exposure, and several of our experienced attorneys regularly take cases to verdict. If you want to continue developing as a trial lawyer, or simply want to work alongside attorneys who actually try cases; you'll find those opportunities here.

Experience a Meritocracy, Not a Waiting Game
We don't believe your next opportunity should be determined solely by how long you've occupied a particular title. Tyson & Mendes rewards contribution, performance, initiative, and leadership. Attorneys who distinguish themselves have advocates who notice and opportunities to continue advancing.

Collaborate Without Losing Your Autonomy
Our Northern California attorneys operate as a highly collaborative group. Teams share knowledge, resources, and even attorneys when it makes sense, creating exposure to different lawyers, matters, and approaches. At the same time, experienced attorneys who prefer consistency within their team can build that rhythm as well.

Flexibility With a Real Office to Come Home To
Our Novato office offers genuine flexibility. Some attorneys enjoy being in regularly, others work hybrid schedules, and our broader support structure accommodates remote work. Attorneys who consistently come in at least twice a week can establish a permanent office space. The goal isn't facetime: it's giving experienced attorneys an environment where they can do their best work.

The Kind of Attorney Who Thrives Here

You're experienced enough to know that autonomy comes with accountability.

You take ownership of your cases and your client relationships. You follow up without being chased. You communicate proactively. You understand the realities of a busy litigation practice and can think, do, and bill, while maintaining excellent work product and client service.

Insurance defense experience is highly valued, but we also recognize that great litigators come from different backgrounds. Attorneys with substantive civil litigation, plaintiff-side, criminal, construction, professional liability, or other complex litigation experience may bring skills that translate well to our practice.

We're less interested in pedigree than we are in grit, judgment, initiative, and performance. We want people who have challenged themselves, learned from experience, and are still interested in becoming better lawyers.

Support When You Need It. Trust When You've Earned It.

Our attorneys are busy, practicing litigators, so this isn't an environment built around unnecessary meetings or constant oversight.

Instead, you'll find experienced attorneys who are highly responsive when you reach out, willing to share their knowledge, and invested in helping colleagues succeed. The attorneys who get the most from this environment are the ones who engage: ask questions, seek feedback, participate, and build relationships across the office.

Monthly office meetings, team meetings, social events, and informal traditions give attorneys opportunities to connect beyond their individual caseloads.

Serious Litigation. People Who Don't Take Themselves Too Seriously.

You can be an excellent trial lawyer without making the practice of law unnecessarily rigid.

Our Northern California team includes accomplished attorneys who work hard, collaborate closely, and still enjoy the people they work with. There's room for personality here and an appreciation for attorneys who can handle serious matters without taking themselves too seriously.

What matters is that you show up for your clients, your cases, and your colleagues.

Make Your Experience Count

If you're looking for a place where you'll be trusted to practice, challenged to keep growing, and recognized for what you contribute, we'd like to meet you.

Bring your experience. Bring your grit. Bring your personality.

Join Tyson & Mendes in Northern California and see where your experience can take you next.

Experience, Autonomy, and Leadership That Is Truly Invested

Senior Counsel | Sacramento, California

Please note: An active California Bar license is required.

At the Senior Counsel level, you know how to manage litigation. What can be harder to find is an environment that gives you the independence you have earned while still providing access to leaders who are genuinely invested in your success.

That is what makes our Sacramento team different.

Tyson & Mendes is growing in Sacramento, and we are looking for an experienced litigator to join a close knit team known for strong mentorship, substantive litigation experience, and high standards for the work we deliver.

For experienced insurance defense attorneys, this position offers the flexibility to work remotely while remaining closely connected to a highly engaged local team.

If you value autonomy, direct communication, meaningful feedback, and leaders who will make time to help you become an even stronger lawyer, we would love to meet you.

Why Our Sacramento Team?

Work With a Leader Who Is Truly Involved

Our Sacramento office is led by Norma Pedroza Chavez, an accomplished litigator with more than 26 years of experience handling matters through trial, mediation, and arbitration.

Norma's practice spans premises liability, professional liability, personal injury, catastrophic accidents, construction defect, construction accidents, human services, and employment law.

She is also a highly engaged leader and mentor.

Norma knows what is happening within her teams, makes herself available when attorneys need guidance, and provides clear, substantive feedback designed to make good lawyers better. Her approach is hands on when you need it and responsive to the experience and development needs of the individual attorney.

For an experienced litigator who still values learning from someone who knows the fundamentals of excellent litigation inside and out, that access is invaluable.

Take Ownership of Your Cases

Senior Counsel are expected to practice with independence.

You will have the opportunity to manage your matters from strategy through resolution, including discovery, depositions, substantive motion practice, client and carrier communication, mediation, expert work, trial preparation, and trial.

We are looking for someone who can see the bigger picture, anticipate what comes next, communicate proactively, and keep matters moving without needing constant oversight.

Get Meaningful Trial Experience

This is a litigation team that believes attorneys become stronger by actually litigating.

Our Sacramento practice offers opportunities for substantive case responsibility and trial experience, with experienced attorneys available to help you prepare for those opportunities when they come.

Whether you already have trials behind you or want to continue building your courtroom experience, you will be working with people who know how to take cases from inception through verdict.

Join a Team That Cares About the Details and Each Other

Sacramento is a smaller office, and that is part of its strength.

The team is connected, responsive, and intentional about including one another. Attorneys connect through weekly Friday meetings, team calls, dinners, and regular interaction across the office.

There is a high standard for the work, but there is also a genuine willingness to help. This is a team that will meet you where you are, provide feedback when you need it, and go out of its way to make sure you feel connected.

We are looking for someone who will bring that same spirit to the team.

Who Will Thrive Here?

You are an experienced California litigator who takes pride in doing things well.

Ideally, you bring a strong background in insurance defense and can independently manage an active caseload. Experience in premises liability, professional liability, personal injury, catastrophic injury, construction, employment, or other substantive civil defense matters may also translate well to the practice.

You are responsive to clients and colleagues. You communicate before someone has to ask. You understand deadlines, billing expectations, and the fundamentals of excellent case management.

You are also receptive to feedback.

At this point in your career, you are confident enough to work independently but still recognize the value of another experienced lawyer challenging your thinking, sharpening your strategy, or showing you a better way to approach something.

If you appreciate clear expectations, direct communication, accountability, and excellent mentorship, you are likely to feel at home here.

Remote Flexibility With a Connected Local Team

For experienced insurance defense litigators who have demonstrated the ability to manage their practice independently, this position offers the opportunity to work remotely.

Flexibility does not mean disconnection.

Our Sacramento attorneys stay closely connected through regular team communication and weekly office meetings, and our leaders are responsive and accessible when attorneys need them.

For those who want time in the office, that connection is encouraged as well. We particularly value attorneys who are open to coming in when collaboration, training, case preparation, or team connection benefits from being together.

You will also have the support of an experienced local team, including Office Manager Pilar Romero, who personally helps welcome and connect new attorneys as they join the office.

Bring Your Experience. Keep Getting Better.

The best senior attorneys do not stop developing simply because they have reached a certain title.

They want challenging work. They want autonomy. They want opportunities to try cases. And they want to work with people who care enough to hold themselves and one another to a high standard.

That is what we are building in Sacramento.

If you are an experienced California defense litigator looking for flexibility, meaningful responsibility, and exceptional mentorship, we would love to meet you.

Join Tyson & Mendes in Sacramento and see what you can build with the right team behind you.

Senior Counsel | Insurance Defense | Orange County

You’ve Built the Experience. Now Put It to Work Somewhere You Can Keep Growing.

An active California Bar license is required.

Tyson & Mendes is seeking an accomplished Senior Counsel with 8+ years of litigation experience to join our Orange County team in Costa Mesa.

At this point in your career, you know how to litigate. Your next opportunity should give you the autonomy to use that experience, the sophistication of work to keep you challenged, and a path to continue growing as a litigator and leader.

We are looking for experienced attorneys who want to own their cases, influence strategy, develop client relationships, mentor others, and potentially build toward leadership and partnership opportunities.

Take the Lead on Sophisticated Litigation

Our Orange County attorneys handle a broad range of matters, including general liability, premises liability, personal injury, construction defect, medical malpractice, toxic and mass torts, employment, and other complex civil litigation.

As Senior Counsel, you’ll have the opportunity to take a leading role in your matters, including case strategy, depositions, expert discovery, dispositive motions, mediations, client and carrier relationships, and trial preparation.

We value experienced attorneys who can see the bigger picture, anticipate what comes next, and move cases forward with confidence.

Work Alongside Experienced Trial Attorneys

The Orange County office is managed by Partner Michelle Campbell, a member of the firm’s Complex Trial Team and an accomplished insurance defense litigator.

Michelle has served as first or second chair in multiple trials and has handled complex, high exposure litigation from inception through trial. She brings a creative and strategic approach to her cases while keeping clients closely involved throughout the process.

The office also includes experienced partners, senior attorneys, mentors, and trial lawyers who bring different perspectives and areas of expertise. It is a collaborative environment where experienced attorneys can exchange ideas, strategize together, and learn from one another.

Autonomy Without Isolation

You have spent years developing your judgment. We want you to use it.

Senior Counsel are trusted to manage their work, make strategic decisions, communicate directly with clients, and move matters forward without unnecessary layers of oversight.

At the same time, you’ll have access to experienced attorneys when collaboration or another perspective can make a case stronger.

You’ll have independence, but you won’t be on an island.

Your Career Can Keep Moving Forward

Senior Counsel does not have to be the final destination.

For attorneys interested in what comes next, Tyson & Mendes offers opportunities to mentor associates, develop business and client relationships, take on leadership responsibilities, and pursue partnership.

We are looking for experienced attorneys who can contribute today while also helping us build the future of our Orange County office.

Flexibility With a Strong Local Team

Our Costa Mesa office offers flexibility while maintaining the connection of a local team.

Several of our partners and senior attorneys work hybrid schedules and spend time in the office throughout the week. This creates opportunities for collaboration, mentoring, strategy, and connection while still giving experienced attorneys flexibility in how they work.

Your Experience Should Open Doors.

If you’re ready for greater autonomy, sophisticated litigation, opportunities to lead, and room to continue advancing your career, we’d love to meet you.

Bring your experience. Lead with confidence. Build what comes next with Tyson & Mendes Orange County.

Want to Become a Better Litigator? Come Practice Litigation.

Associate Attorney | Northern California

Please note: An active California Bar license is required.

There is a difference between working on litigation and actually becoming a litigator.

At Tyson & Mendes, our Northern California associates have the opportunity to take meaningful responsibility for their cases, work alongside experienced trial attorneys, develop relationships with clients, and build the practical skills that turn promising lawyers into confident advocates.

Based out of our Novato office and handling matters throughout Northern California and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, our team is looking for associates who are curious, hardworking, proactive, and ready to grow.

If you want substantive experience and you are willing to take ownership of your development, we would love to meet you.

Why Our Northern California Team?

Get Real Litigation Experience

You will not build your career sitting on the sidelines. Our associates gain substantive experience with discovery, depositions, motion practice, case strategy, client communication, mediation, trial preparation, and more. As your skills develop, so does your responsibility.

Get Closer to the Courtroom

Our Northern California team handles true litigation, and several of our attorneys regularly take cases to trial. That creates opportunities for associates who want courtroom exposure and the chance to learn from attorneys who actually try cases.

You do not need to arrive as a trial lawyer. You should want to become one.

Learn From Experienced Litigators

You will work with accomplished attorneys who know their cases, know their clients, and know what it takes to succeed in the courtroom. They are available and responsive when you need guidance, while also giving you the opportunity to think through problems, develop your judgment, and become increasingly independent.

The associates who thrive here ask questions, seek feedback, communicate, and then take what they have learned and put it into action.

Grow Based on What You Do

Tyson & Mendes is a meritocracy. We recognize initiative, performance, growth, and contribution rather than relying solely on years of experience to determine career progression.

If you work hard, become someone clients and colleagues trust, and consistently demonstrate that you are ready for more, there are opportunities to keep moving forward.

Find Your People

Our Northern California attorneys genuinely collaborate. Teams share ideas, resources, and attorneys when it makes sense, giving associates exposure to different lawyers, cases, and approaches to litigation.

There is a strong core group within the office, along with monthly Friday meetings, team meetings, social events, and opportunities to connect with colleagues. The attorneys who become involved tend to get the most from the experience.

Who Will Thrive Here?

We are looking for attorneys with 3+ years of litigation experience preferred, particularly those who already understand the fundamentals of managing an active caseload.

Insurance defense experience is a strong plus, but it is not the only background we will consider. Attorneys coming from substantive civil litigation, plaintiff work, criminal litigation, construction, professional liability, or related practices may also bring valuable experience to the team.

We care much more about the attorney you are becoming than pedigree.

We are looking for grit, curiosity, follow through, strong communication, and initiative.

You take responsibility for your work. You think about what needs to happen next. You follow up when something needs attention. You ask questions when you need guidance and are receptive to feedback when it is given.

Most importantly, you want to become a better lawyer and are willing to put in the work to get there.

Flexibility Without Disconnection

This position offers the flexibility to work remotely, but remote does not have to mean isolated.

Our Novato office is available whenever you want or need to come in, and attorneys who prefer a hybrid schedule are encouraged to use it. Attorneys who consistently work from the office at least twice a week can establish a permanent office space.

You will also have access to experienced support professionals, including our long tenured Office Manager, Pilar Romero, along with legal assistant, paralegal, administrative, and trial support resources.

Whether you are working remotely or spending time in Novato, you will be part of a team that values collaboration, communication, and connection.

Bring Your Drive. We’ll Give You Room to Grow.

We are not looking for someone who already knows everything.

We are looking for someone who wants to keep learning.

Someone who wants responsibility, welcomes feedback, communicates well, works hard, and sees challenging cases as an opportunity to become a stronger lawyer.

If that sounds like the career you are trying to build, we would love to start a conversation.

Join Tyson & Mendes in Northern California and build the kind of litigation career you want.

Pay Range$115,000—$160,000 USD

Associate Attorney | Insurance Defense | Pennsylvania | Remote 

Ready to Do More Than Just Work on Someone Else’s Cases? 

Tyson & Mendes is seeking an Associate Attorney with 1+ years of insurance defense experience to join our growing Philadelphia team. 

This is a remote opportunity for an attorney who already understands the fundamentals of insurance defense and is ready for more: more case ownership, more substantive litigation experience, more client interaction, and more opportunity to develop as a litigator. 

Get Real Litigation Experience, Early! 

On Chris Kelly’s teams, we keep case staffing lean, typically with only two attorneys assigned to a file. That means associates aren't sitting on the sidelines. 

You'll have the opportunity to handle files, develop strategy, manage discovery, take depositions, work with experts, communicate with clients and carriers, handle motion practice, and prepare matters for trial. 

The goal is simple: give you meaningful litigation experience sooner rather than later.  

Build a Broad Litigation Practice 

Our Philadelphia office handles sophisticated civil defense matters in both state and federal courts, giving attorneys exposure to a wide range of litigation. Pasted text 

Chris's teams currently handle a broad mix of: 

• General liability 

• Premises liability 

• Medical malpractice 

• Professional liability 

• Construction defect 

• Product liability 

• Auto and commercial transportation matters 

It's an opportunity to build a strong litigation foundation without being confined to one narrow practice area. Pasted text 

Experienced Leadership Without the Micromanagement 

Philadelphia Co-Managing Partner Christopher Kelly brings decades of experience across general liability, professional and product liability, construction, trucking, employment, commercial litigation, insurance coverage and other complex defense matters. Pasted text 

His leadership style is relaxed and easygoing, with an expectation that attorneys take responsibility for their work, communicate, and keep their cases moving. Pasted text 

You'll have experienced attorneys around you when you need them—without someone looking over your shoulder every step of the way. 

Remote Doesn't Mean Disconnected 

This position is remote, with no regular in-office requirement for Chris's group. Pasted text 

The Philadelphia office is a collegial group that pitches in and helps one another. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back, while the approach to the work is anything but. 

Nice people. Serious litigators. No egos required. 

What We're Looking For 

• 1+ years of recent insurance defense experience 

• Active Pennsylvania Bar license required 

• Pennsylvania and New Jersey dual admission strongly preferred 

• Prior billing experience 

• Ability to independently handle and move files forward 

• Strong written, analytical and communication skills 

• Responsive, curious and committed to doing great work 

Build Your Career From Wherever You Work Best. 

If you're early in your insurance defense career and ready for real responsibility, broad litigation experience, experienced leadership, flexibility, and a team that will give you room to grow, we'd like to meet you. 

Work remotely. Own your cases. Become a stronger litigator.

Pay Range$100,000—$160,000 USD

Associate Attorney (Insurance Coverage) 

A Rare Seat for a Litigator Who Wants More Variety 

If you’re a Washington attorney with 3–5 years of experience and you’ve worked with UIM matters, first-party claims, or coverage issues, this is an opportunity to build a broader litigation practice without giving up the sophistication of insurance work. 

Tyson & Mendes’ Seattle office is busy, growing, and intentionally close-knit. The team has the feel of a boutique practice: accessible leadership, real collaboration, and meaningful responsibility; while giving you the resources, technology, training, and infrastructure of a national litigation firm. 

This role is especially unique because you won’t be placed into a narrow practice lane. 

You’ll work alongside Partner David Heemann, whose practice spans insurance coverage, bad faith, claims management, general liability, auto liability, construction defect, and other complex insurance matters. David brings more than 20 years of experience, including significant in-house coverage counsel experience, and has advised on matters with exposures exceeding $100 million. 

For an attorney who wants to become a stronger, more versatile insurance litigator, this is a compelling place to do it. 

 

More Than Routine Auto Defense 

Approximately 10% of the practice will involve first-party and coverage-related work, with the remainder consisting of a diverse mix of tort litigation, including: 

• Auto and UIM matters
• Premises liability
• Products liability
• Construction-related litigation
• Complex bodily injury claims
• Insurance coverage and first-party bad faith exposure
• High-value and unusual matters involving sophisticated liability issues 

The variety is a major differentiator. 

You won’t spend your career handling the same type of case over and over. The team regularly works on matters involving complex legal issues, significant injuries, and unique clients; including litigation in which David has been appointed as a Special Assistant Attorney General to defend the State of Washington. 

That breadth of work is difficult to find at many traditional insurance defense firms. 

Learn From a True Insurance Coverage Resource 

David’s background offers something particularly valuable for an attorney interested in developing deeper insurance knowledge. 

Before joining Tyson & Mendes, he served as Claims Coverage Counsel for Mutual of Enumclaw and has extensive experience with coverage opinions, claims management, policy drafting, bad faith litigation, regulatory issues, and complex insurance disputes. 

You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with an experienced partner while still having room to develop your own judgment, manage cases, and take meaningful ownership of your practice. 

This is mentorship without micromanagement. 

Boutique Connection. National Resources. 

Our Seattle office offers the relationships and visibility of a smaller team without the limitations of a small firm. 

You’ll have access to: 

• A national network of experienced litigators
• Firmwide training and professional development
• Our Trial Academy and litigation methodologies
• Advanced technology and AI-enabled legal resources
• Sophisticated case-management and billing tools
• Cross-office collaboration and subject-matter expertise
• Opportunities to grow alongside an expanding Seattle practice 

You can be known by your team, learn directly from experienced partners, and make a visible impact—while still having a national platform behind you. 

Who Will Thrive Here 

We’re looking for an attorney who has built a solid litigation foundation and is ready for more variety, responsibility, and growth. 

The strongest candidate will have approximately 3–5 years of Washington litigation experience, ideally including Washington UIM matters and some exposure to first-party bad faith or insurance coverage. 

You should enjoy managing cases, working through complicated legal issues, communicating with clients, taking depositions, writing and arguing motions, and continuing to develop as a well-rounded litigator. 

Most importantly, you should be curious. 

If you want to understand why coverage works the way it does, handle meaningful liability matters, and become the attorney clients trust with complicated problems, this team can give you that runway. 

Build a Practice, Not Just a Caseload 

At Tyson & Mendes, we’re looking for attorneys who want to become exceptional at what they do. 

If you’re ready for a role that offers complex work, accessible mentorship, meaningful responsibility, modern resources, and a genuinely connected Seattle team, we’d like to meet you. 

Bring your litigation experience. We’ll help you broaden what you can do with it.

Pay Range$115,000—$160,000 USD

Associate Attorney | Insurance Defense | Orange County  

Learn From One of the Best. Build the Litigator You Want to Become. 

An active California Bar license and 3+ years of insurance defense experience are required. 

Tyson & Mendes is seeking an experienced Associate Attorney to join Partner Margaret “Peggy” Holm’s litigation team in our Orange County office. 

This is a unique opportunity for an attorney who already understands insurance defense and is ready to take their skills further. 

You’ll work alongside an accomplished trial attorney, handle substantive and sophisticated matters, receive direct feedback and guidance, and have opportunities to develop the judgment and courtroom skills that come from working closely with attorneys who have spent decades trying complex cases. 

Learn From an Exceptional Trial Lawyer 

Peggy Holm is Chair of the Tyson & Mendes Healthcare Practice and one of the country’s leading trial and appellate litigators for healthcare entities and other organizations facing complex civil litigation. 

Her record includes more than 200 civil jury trials and arbitrations and a success rate of more than 95 percent in jury verdict cases. She is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and holds the prestigious rank of Diplomate with the American Board of Trial Advocates.  

For an associate who wants to become a stronger litigator, this is an opportunity to learn from someone who has spent her career doing exactly that. 

Do Substantive Work 

This is not a role where you’ll spend your time sitting on the sidelines. 

Peggy’s team handles an interesting mix of sophisticated matters, including medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, elder abuse, institutional liability, trucking and automobile matters, and complex claims involving healthcare and entertainment organizations. Some matters involve difficult and sensitive facts and require maturity, sound judgment, and professionalism.  

You’ll have the opportunity to work on cases directly, participate in depositions, develop strategy, handle discovery and motions, communicate with clients, prepare for court, and build toward greater courtroom and trial responsibility. 

High Expectations. Real Mentorship. 

Peggy has high standards, but she also believes strongly in developing attorneys. 

Newer attorneys receive a manageable caseload and guidance as they build their skills. Peggy interacts regularly with her team, encourages attorneys to pick up the phone and talk through issues, and holds weekly team meetings focused on both the work and supporting one another.  

You will be expected to think independently. Look at the problem. Do the work. Think through possible solutions. Then come to the team with your questions and ideas. 

You won’t be expected to know everything, but you will be expected to engage. 

The Right Fit 

We’re looking for an attorney with 3+ years of insurance defense experience who understands civil litigation, discovery, and case management and is ready for more. 

You are proactive, inquisitive, hardworking, and accountable. You communicate openly, treat clients, colleagues, judges, and opposing counsel with respect, and take ownership when something doesn’t go as planned. 

Most importantly, you want to become a better litigator and are willing to put in the work to get there. 

A Team That Actually Works as a Team 

Peggy’s team genuinely enjoys working together. They communicate frequently, help one another, and believe no task is too big or too small when the team needs support. 

Peggy plans to spend approximately three days a week in the Costa Mesa office, creating opportunities for in person collaboration and mentorship while maintaining flexibility.  

And for attorneys who want courtroom experience, there is room to grow. Peggy is the primary trial lawyer on the team today and is specifically looking for other attorneys who can develop toward taking on that responsibility.  

Come Here to Become a Better Litigator. 

If you have the insurance defense foundation and are ready to challenge yourself, learn from exceptional attorneys, take meaningful ownership of your work, and build toward the courtroom, we’d love to meet you. 

Bring your experience. Bring your initiative. We’ll give you the opportunity to build from there.

Tyson & Mendes is growing in the Inland Empire, and we’re looking for motivated litigation associates who want to grow right along with us.

You’ll work alongside experienced litigators, take on meaningful case responsibility, and receive the kind of hands-on mentorship that can make a real difference early in your career.

If you’re looking for a place where you can learn, contribute, and build toward something, we’d love to meet you.

Why Join Our Inland Empire Team?

Mentorship That Meets You Where You Are
The office is led by Pat Ferraris, an experienced litigator, former professor, and highly regarded mentor. His approach is individualized; giving attorneys the guidance and feedback they need while building the confidence and skills to work more independently as they develop.

Real Experience. Real Responsibility.
You won’t spend years waiting for an opportunity to do substantive work. Our attorneys are encouraged to take ownership, build relationships with clients, strengthen their writing and advocacy skills, and develop the judgment needed to become confident litigators.

Grow Alongside the Office
We’re building toward a team of approximately 10 attorneys in the Inland Empire. Joining during this stage means becoming part of the office early, developing alongside experienced attorneys and future team leaders, and positioning yourself for opportunities as the team expands.

Interesting, Varied Litigation
Our current matters include automobile liability, premises liability, product liability, and other civil litigation throughout the Inland Empire and beyond. We also welcome attorneys coming from related practices such as medical malpractice, professional liability, construction defect, and broader civil litigation.

A Team Where People Help Each Other
We’re intentionally building a culture around trust, camaraderie, communication, and mutual respect. We want attorneys who care about doing excellent work and who also believe being a great colleague matters.

Who Will Thrive Here

You’re curious, motivated, and ready to become a stronger litigator.

You take ownership of your work, communicate when you need guidance, and are receptive to feedback. You’re comfortable working independently but appreciate having experienced attorneys available when you need them. Most importantly, you want to learn.

Insurance defense experience is preferred, but it isn't the only path to this team. We’re open to attorneys with substantive civil litigation experience who are excited to develop their defense practice.

Experience with discovery, depositions, motion practice, case strategy, and trial preparation is valuable, and we’re particularly interested in attorneys who want greater exposure to the courtroom as their careers progress.

Small-Team Experience. National-Firm Resources.

There’s something unique about joining an office while it’s still being built.

You get the visibility, relationships, and opportunities that come with a smaller team, while having the resources, training, technology, and stability of a national litigation firm behind you.

Our Inland Empire team is currently working from collaborative office space as we grow, with plans to establish a permanent office in the Redlands area based on the needs of the expanding team.

And as the office grows, we want our attorneys to grow with it.

Come Grow With Us

You don’t need to have your entire legal career mapped out. You need the right environment, meaningful opportunities, great people to learn from, and the drive to keep getting better.

Bring your ambition. We’ll bring the opportunity.

Join Tyson & Mendes and be part of what we’re building in the Inland Empire. Apply today! We’d love to meet you.

Pay Range$100,000—$145,000 USD

Complex Cases. Strong Mentorship. Become a Better Litigator.

Associate Attorney | New Jersey

An active New Jersey Bar license is required.

The best way to become a strong litigator is to work on meaningful cases, take on real responsibility, and learn from attorneys who know how to navigate complex litigation.

That is what we are building at Tyson & Mendes in New Jersey.

Our growing New Jersey team is looking for an Associate Attorney who wants substantive litigation experience, thoughtful mentorship, and increasing responsibility as their skills and judgment develop.

Our attorneys handle complex, high exposure matters, including multimillion dollar losses, professional liability, medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, and other significant civil defense litigation.

If you want to understand the entire case, not simply complete assignments, we would like to meet you.

Work on Cases That Will Challenge You

This is an opportunity to develop your skills on sophisticated matters where strategy and preparation matter.

You will gain experience with discovery, depositions, substantive motion practice, expert work, case evaluation, client communication, mediation, witness preparation, and trial preparation.

As you demonstrate your capabilities, you will have opportunities to take greater ownership of your matters and become increasingly involved in case strategy and client relationships.

We want you to understand not only what needs to be done, but why it matters and what should happen next.

Learn From an Experienced New Jersey Litigator

Our New Jersey office is led by Danielle DeGeorgio, New Jersey Branch Office Managing Partner, whose practice focuses on catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, insurance coverage, and professional malpractice.

Danielle has extensive New Jersey litigation experience, including courtroom work, trial preparation, dispositive motion practice, appellate matters, and the preparation of fact and expert witnesses.

Her approach to developing attorneys balances mentorship with autonomy.

She will give you room to think, make decisions, and develop your own judgment. At the same time, she stays connected enough to provide guidance, help you strategize, and step in before you find yourself too far off course.

The goal is not to micromanage you.

The goal is to help you become increasingly capable of managing cases independently.

Build Real New Jersey Litigation Experience

We are looking for an attorney who wants to practice in New Jersey, understand its courts, and develop meaningful experience in the state.

This is particularly important to our team.

We want associates who are interested in learning the nuances of New Jersey litigation and becoming attorneys clients and colleagues can trust to handle matters here.

Insurance defense experience is strongly valued. If you already understand carrier relationships, billing requirements, and the fundamentals of defense practice, you will have an excellent foundation to continue building from.

Grow With the Office

Our New Jersey practice has grown considerably since it was established, and we are continuing to build a stable, collaborative team of attorneys who want to grow with it.

Because this is a developing office, your contribution is visible.

You have the opportunity to know the attorneys you work with, develop relationships with leadership, take on greater responsibility as you progress, and become an important part of the team as the practice continues to grow.

We value people who are professional, responsive, collaborative, and willing to help one another succeed.

Modern Tools for Modern Litigation

We believe developing great attorneys also means giving them great resources.

Tyson & Mendes continues to invest in AI enabled legal tools, advanced research resources, modern case management technology, and systems designed to help attorneys work more effectively.

You will also have access to our APEX methodology, Trial Academy, and nationally recognized approach to Stopping Nuclear Verdicts®.

These tools and frameworks complement the practical experience you gain on your cases and give you additional ways to think strategically about litigation.

Who Will Thrive Here?

You are a New Jersey attorney with a solid litigation foundation and a genuine interest in becoming an excellent defense litigator.

You are a self starter who thinks ahead.

You do not simply wait for the next assignment. You pay attention to the case, anticipate deadlines, communicate proactively, follow through, and ask thoughtful questions when you need guidance.

You care about the quality of your work and understand that responsiveness, preparation, strong writing, good judgment, and professionalism are essential to earning greater responsibility.

Most importantly, you want to learn.

Flexibility Without Losing Your Team

Our New Jersey attorneys have flexibility to work remotely while remaining connected to their colleagues and leadership.

Danielle believes experienced attorneys should have room to practice, but she also understands the value of collaboration, particularly for strategy, witness preparation, depositions, and trial development.

As you grow, there may be times when working together in person provides the best learning opportunity, and we want associates who see the value in that connection.

Come Build Your Practice With Us

You do not need to have every answer yet.

You need a strong foundation, initiative, curiosity, and the willingness to keep getting better.

We will give you sophisticated cases, experienced mentors, modern resources, meaningful responsibility, and room to grow into the litigator you want to become.

Join Danielle DeGeorgio and the Tyson & Mendes New Jersey team and build what comes next in your litigation career.

Associate Attorney

Build Your Nevada Practice With Real Ownership

Associate Attorney | Nevada | Flexible/Remote

Please note: An active Nevada Bar license is required.

There is a difference between assisting on litigation and learning how to truly own a case.

Our Nevada team is looking for litigators who want meaningful responsibility, direct client relationships, and the opportunity to become stronger, more confident advocates.

Led by Partner Griffith Hayes, the team handles a broad range of civil defense matters throughout Nevada, including premises liability, bodily injury, auto liability, hospitality and casino matters, dealership-related litigation, and other general liability matters.

Griff believes attorneys grow by being trusted with real responsibility while still having an experienced leader available when they need guidance. He is accessible, invested in professional development, and gives attorneys room to manage their work without micromanagement.

What Makes Our Nevada Team Different?

Own Your Cases

Our attorneys aren't simply supporting someone else's files. You'll have meaningful responsibility for your matters, develop case strategy, communicate directly with clients and carriers, take depositions, handle motion practice, and prepare cases for resolution or trial.

Flexibility Without Isolation

Our Nevada practice operates in a highly flexible environment, and living in Las Vegas is not a requirement. Many appearances can be handled virtually, although attorneys travel when matters require in-person court appearances, trials, site inspections, trial preparation, or client needs.

Grow With the Right Support

We believe responsibility and support can coexist. New attorneys are intentionally integrated into the team, with regular communication and access to leadership as they become comfortable with the practice and their caseload.

Build the Lawyer You Want to Become

Whether you want greater case ownership, stronger client relationships, more courtroom experience, or opportunities to write, speak, and develop an area you're known for, Tyson & Mendes invests in the individual attorney as well as the firm.

Who Will Thrive Here?

You take ownership of your work and communicate well.

You're comfortable working independently but know when to ask questions.

You care about your clients and the quality of your work.

You want meaningful responsibility rather than simply completing assignments.

Insurance defense experience is preferred, but it isn't the only path to our team. We're open to attorneys with strong litigation fundamentals who are interested in building a sophisticated civil defense practice.
