You have never heard of this place probably, but its a solid second-tier firm with about 60 lawyers in two California offices, with San Diego as the home base. The firm bills itself out as full service but really does not have much of a corporate practice. They service small to mid-sized clients in the areas of environmental litigation and regulation, insurance, bad faith and regulatory law, health care, labor and employment, and professional liability and business litigation. It is one of the few firms we know that has a growing amusement park practice (send in the clowns!). This would be a good training ground for top 50% grads from schools like Loyola, USD, McGeorge, and the like.
