- Handle wage and hour, discrimination, harassment, class, collective, and PAGA matters
- Collaborate with partners and mentor junior attorneys
Requirements
- 7+ years of employment litigation experience preferred
- Proven ability to independently manage complex employment matters
- Strong California wage and hour, discrimination, harassment, class, collective, and PAGA experience
- Strong motion, deposition, writing, analytical, and client management skills
- California Bar admission and strong academic credentials
- Proactive, self-directed, and collaborative approach
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and take ownership of matters
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, HSA, and FSA options
- 401(k) with firm profit-sharing contributions
- Parental leave, paid holidays, and life and disability insurance
- 2,000 annual billable hours with up to 150 qualifying non-billable hours
