Position Title: LA– Senior Employment Litigation Associate

Take the lead on sophisticated employment litigation with a nationally recognized labor and employment firm.

About: We are seeking a Senior Employment Litigation Associate to handle complex California employment matters, with meaningful responsibility from case strategy through resolution. You’ll manage litigation matters independently, draft and argue dispositive and non-dispositive motions, handle discovery and depositions, appear at hearings, and play a significant role in mediations and other high-stakes proceedings. This is an opportunity for an experienced litigator who wants more than a supporting role — you’ll work directly with clients, collaborate with multiple partners, and have the autonomy to shape your matters while benefiting from the resources and support of a leading national firm.

  • Independently manage employment litigation matters from start to finish
  • Develop case strategy and manage client communications and deadlines
  • Draft pleadings, discovery, and dispositive and non-dispositive motions
  • Take and defend depositions and appear at hearings
  • Participate in mediations, arbitrations, and settlement negotiations
  • 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
  • Hybrid work environment
  • Student loan refinancing and additional employee benefits

If you’re ready to take ownership of sophisticated employment litigation and grow your practice with a supportive national firm, apply today!
