Subject: [DRBA] Opening for Disability Rights Associate in Los Angeles/El Segundo

Our 100% disability rights firm is looking for an associate with 3-7 years of exerience (I assume we'd also consider a new admittee with solid law clerking experience). We are a relatively new firm as currently configured (1.5 years) - but the Senior Partner and I have over 40 years of disability rights experience between us, and the remaining attorneys (2 partners, 1 associate) have significant experience in civil litigation and a deep committment to disability rights. Great opportunity for the right person!

The office is very laid back - we laugh a lot and don't take ourselves too seriously - but we are also extremely busy. Currently, the majority of our cases are federal ADA/504 cases dealing with architectural barriers and program access from a physical standpoint. I joined the firm at the beginning of the year and we have since expanded to fair housing, reasonable accommodation and communication access issues. In the next couple of years we are hoping to expand into additional areas including, but not limited to mental health advocacy and special education. There is an interest in, and opportunities for legislative advocacy and public policy as well.

The firm, although newly established, is very financially stable and rapidly growing due to the overwhelming workload.  If you know of anyone that might be interested, please have them send a letter of interest and resume to my attention, or mail the same to our office (currently the Encino address below). CALLS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED at the firm about the position, but I am very happy to talk with anyone potentially interested about the opportunity one-on-one.  Just e-mail me and I'll give you a call.  We are looking at a start date in or around October/November - concurrent with our office's move to the beach city of El Segundo.

Thank you!!
