Associate Attorney, Commercial Bankruptcy (Creditors’ Rights) | $100,000–$130,000 | Encino (Hybrid) | Boutique Creditors-Side Practice With Direct Mentorship

This is a junior commercial bankruptcy role focused exclusively on creditors’ rights — no consumer work, no debtor-side representation.

The position is based in Encino with a flexible hybrid structure (typically 3+ days in-office) and is ideal for a junior attorney looking to build depth in sophisticated commercial bankruptcy.

The Role

• Creditors’ committee and creditors’ rights representation
• Commercial Chapter 7, 11, and 13 matters
• Hands-on litigation within bankruptcy proceedings
• Exposure to workouts, restructures, and judgment enforcement
• Direct partner mentorship in a specialized niche practice

This is not volume consumer bankruptcy. It is business-focused, complex creditors’ work.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• 35+ years exclusively representing creditors in commercial bankruptcy
• Established Encino boutique with long-standing client relationships
• One of the largest firms in the San Fernando Valley
• Close-knit team environment with direct training from experienced partners
• In-house investigative resources supporting litigation strategy
• Clear path for development within a specialized practice

Compensation & Structure

• $100,000–$130,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid flexibility (Encino office)
• Partner track available
• 90% litigation exposure within bankruptcy matters

Ideal Background

• 1–3 years of experience (around 2 years preferred)
• Creditors’ rights or creditors’ committee experience in commercial bankruptcy
• Exposure to Chapters 7, 11, and 13
• California Bar admission
• Strong desire to build expertise in a niche creditors-focused practice
