<li>Monthly travel reimbursement </li>
<li>Employer-sponsored family and holiday events </li>
</ul>

Work Schedule &amp; Expectations
<ul>
<li>1850 annual billable hour expectation </li>
<li>In-office role based in Upland, CA </li>
<li>Monday through Friday schedule </li>
<li>Office hours begin at 9:00 a.m. </li>
<li>Average of 35 to 40 total hours per week, including billable and non-billable time </li>
</ul>

Who This Role Is a Fit For
<ul>
<li>Attorneys with experience in family law or civil litigation </li>
<li>Strong oral and written advocates who enjoy client-facing work </li>
