You know the fundamentals of litigation. Now you’re ready for more experience, more responsibility, and the opportunity to become a stronger attorney.
Tyson & Mendes is seeking an Associate Attorney to join our San Diego team. This is a great opportunity for an attorney with civil litigation experience who wants to continue developing their skills while working alongside experienced insurance defense attorneys and trial lawyers.
Our San Diego attorneys handle a broad range of matters, including personal injury and wrongful death, premises liability, automobile and transportation liability, professional liability, medical malpractice, construction and construction defect, products liability, employment, and other complex civil litigation.
Build Real Litigation Experience
We’re not expecting you to walk in as a finished trial attorney.
We’re looking for someone who understands the foundations of litigation, including discovery, pleadings, motions, reporting, depositions, case management, and client communication, and wants to keep building from there.
Depending on your experience and team, you’ll have opportunities to take on greater case responsibility, participate in depositions and court appearances, work directly with clients and carriers, develop case strategy, and learn from attorneys with significant litigation and trial experience.
Our goal is to give you the foundation, guidance, and opportunities to continue becoming a better litigator.
Experienced Leaders. Different Paths to Grow.
The San Diego office is led by Daniel Fallon, an experienced litigator and former Board Member of the San Diego Defense Lawyers, and overseen regionally by Kristi Blackwell, California Regional Managing Partner.
Across the office, our team leaders bring different practice areas, personalities, and approaches to litigation, giving associates the opportunity to find the environment where they can be most successful.
Many of our current partners and team leaders grew their careers within these San Diego teams, creating opportunities for associates who demonstrate initiative, strong judgment, and the ability to take on increasing responsibility.
Our San Diego attorneys work in a highly flexible, primarily remote environment, with office space available for attorneys who prefer to come in. Some teams also hold collaborative in office workdays, and attorneys come together for team events and celebrations.
Success here isn’t about sitting in an office every day. It’s about communication, accountability, adaptability, and getting the work done.
We’re looking for attorneys who are comfortable taking initiative, asking questions, communicating what they need, and building relationships with their team, even when working remotely.
Bring Your Foundation. We’ll Help You Build on It.
If you’re looking for an opportunity to strengthen your litigation skills, take on greater responsibility, and build your career alongside experienced defense attorneys, we’d love to meet you.
