Careers at Murtaugh
At Murtaugh LLP, the quality of our work begins with our people. Lawyers and professional staff are central to the firm’s ability to care for the client, a principle that has guided the firm since its founding.
Every matter we handle reflects the judgment, preparation, and collaboration of the attorneys and staff working together behind the scenes. Whether advising a business on a complex transaction, representing a client in litigation, or guiding a family through estate planning, our work depends on professionals who bring care, professionalism, and initiative to everything they do.
We believe that excellent client service begins with building a team of thoughtful, dedicated professionals who take pride in their work and in supporting one another.
We take pride in building a workplace where attorneys and staff grow, collaborate, and contribute to something larger than the work itself.
Murtaugh maintains a collaborative environment where attorneys work closely across practice areas. Lawyers are encouraged to contribute ideas, take initiative, and build strong relationships with clients and referral sources.
Professional staff play an equally important role in the firm’s success. Their knowledge, experience, and commitment to excellence are essential to delivering the level of service our clients expect.
Our Irvine office reflects the firm’s Southern California roots. The workspace is open, bright, and designed to support communication and teamwork. We take pride in maintaining a collegial atmosphere where people respect one another and enjoy working together.

Attorneys are encouraged to grow their practices, develop expertise in their areas of focus, and build lasting professional relationships.
Murtaugh LLP offers a summer clerk program for law students interested in gaining meaningful experience in the firm’s core practice areas. Summer clerks work directly with attorneys on active matters and are exposed to the day-to-day work of a busy law practice.
The program is designed to provide practical insight into the firm’s work in business transactions, civil litigation, and trust and estate matters, while also giving students the opportunity to become part of the firm’s collaborative culture.
The firm places a high value on being part of something larger than the work itself. Many of our attorneys are actively involved in nonprofit organizations, professional associations, and community initiatives. These commitments are supported and encouraged.
For attorneys and staff, this creates an environment where professional development is not limited to client work. There are opportunities to serve on boards, mentor students, and contribute to causes that matter to you.
These experiences strengthen the firm and the people within it. They also reflect the kind of practice we are building. One that is grounded, engaged, and connected to the communities we serve.
