Motion-Writing Attorney (CA-Barred)

We're a busy plaintiff-side California law firm with a high active caseload and steady litigation volume. We're looking for a sharp legal writer to join our team as an ongoing, part-time motion-drafting attorney. You'll work behind the scenes drafting motions that our attorneys review, finalize, and file — so you get consistent, interesting work without the client management or court appearances. This is a long-term, recurring engagement, not a one-off project. The right person becomes a reliable part of our workflow. What you'll draft: Discovery motions (motions to compel, separate statements, discovery oppositions) Song-Beverly attorney's fee motions and supporting declarations Oppositions to motions for summary judgment / summary adjudication (MSJ/MSA) What we're looking for Active California bar license (required). Good standing. Strong civil litigation motion-writing experience — you can take a record and produce a clean, persuasive, court-ready draft. Excellent legal research and Shepardizing/KeyCiting; arguments are well-supported and current. Comfortable working from case files, deposition testimony, repair records, and discovery responses. Reliable, responsive, and able to hit deadlines in an active litigation calendar. Lemon law experience is a plus but not required. If you're a strong California civil litigation writer, we'll get you up to speed on the Song-Beverly specifics. What matters most is the quality of your writing and your judgment. Why this role is a good fit: Steady, predictable work — ongoing pipeline, not feast-or-famine. Remote and flexible; you control your hours. No client intake, no court appearances, no billing headaches — just writing. Templates, prior briefs, and a clear style guide to work from. To apply Please include: A short note on your California civil litigation and motion-writing background (mention lemon law experience if any). A writing sample — ideally an MSJ/MSA opposition, motion to compel, or fee motion you drafted (redact anything confidential). Your California bar number and confirmation of good standing. Your availability and rate expectations. Applications without a writing sample will not be considered. We review every qualified application and respond promptly. We're looking to start with a paid test motion, then move into a steady ongoing arrangement with the right writer.
