Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Brief Writer to join our dynamic wage and hour employment law practice group. This position is ideal for a skilled legal writer who wants to focus exclusively on research and brief writing without the demands of court appearances or client interaction. You will support our growing litigation team by producing high-quality written work for complex class action and collective action cases.

About Our Firm

Our firm is a leading plaintiff-side employment law practice with offices in California, Texas, and Illinois. Our wage and hour practice group has approximately 15 attorneys and is experiencing rapid growth. We represent employees in class actions, collective actions, and individual wage and hour disputes against employers nationwide.

Key Responsibilities

  • Draft motions, briefs, and other legal documents for wage and hour litigation
  • Conduct comprehensive legal research on employment law issues
  • Prepare research outlines and memoranda for senior attorneys
  • Support litigation team with written advocacy in federal and state courts
  • Collaborate with attorneys on case strategy through written analysis
  • Maintain consistent quality and meet demanding deadlines in a high-volume practice

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 5+ years of legal writing experience in a law firm environment
  • Judicial clerkship experience strongly preferred – we value the rigorous writing training that comes from clerking
  • Extensive background in wage and hour law writing including FLSA, state wage laws, class actions, and collective actions
  • Exceptional research and analytical skills
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing polished work product
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive salary : $130,000 - $150,000 (based on experience and qualifications)
  • Work-life balance : No court appearances, depositions, or client meetings required
  • Fully remote position with flexible scheduling
  • Professional growth opportunities within an expanding practice
  • Collaborative environment with experienced employment law attorneys
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Year-end bonus potential based on performance and contribution to team success
  • Ideal Candidate Profile

    The ideal candidate is a skilled legal writer who thrives in a research-focused role and wants to make a significant impact through written advocacy. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment supporting multiple attorneys and cases simultaneously. Previous experience with employment law, particularly wage and hour issues, is essential.

    Application Process

    Please submit your resume along with two writing samples that demonstrate your legal writing abilities. Writing samples should preferably include employment law briefs or motions, but high-quality litigation writing in other practice areas will be considered.

    We are committed to diversity and inclusion and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
