Job description

(Los Angeles or San Francisco | Hybrid)

Step into a firm that's redefining what it means to practice at the top. Recognized among the nation's leading law firms, this AmLaw 100 team is known for its influence in employment defense, its progressive culture, and its ability to attract the brightest attorneys in the country.

The firm's California employment group continues to grow as it defends Fortune 500 companies and household-name employers in some of the most closely watched wage-and-hour, class, and PAGA matters in the nation. Attorneys here don't just litigate, they help shape the direction of employment law itself.

The Opportunity

We're seeking an Employment Litigation Associate with 4+ years of experience ready to take on high-impact work in a truly national practice. This is a rare opportunity to collaborate with leading trial lawyers and policy shapers on complex employment disputes while maintaining a culture that values integrity, creativity, and balance.

Your caseload will include class and representative actions, single-plaintiff litigation, and strategic counseling across California and beyond.

What You'll Do

  • Defend leading employers in class, collective, and representative (PAGA) actions.
  • Manage discovery and motion practice on significant, high-stakes cases.
  • Take and defend depositions, and appear in mediations and hearings.
  • Work directly with clients to align litigation strategy with business goals.
  • Collaborate with nationally recognized partners who are at the forefront of employment law.

What You Bring

  • J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school.
  • Active California Bar membership (or pending admission).
  • 4+ years of employment litigation experience, ideally in class or PAGA defense.
  • Strong knowledge of California and federal employment law.
  • Excellent writing, analysis, and communication skills.
  • Confidence, initiative, and a desire to perform at an elite level.
  • What You'll Gain

  • Compensation : $260,000 – $350,000 DOE + bonus potential.
  • Prestige : Work alongside attorneys ranked among the best in their field.
  • Balance : Hybrid flexibility and sustainable workload expectations.
  • Support : Exceptional benefits, training, and resources from one of the nation's most respected firms.
  • Growth : A clear path to advance within a high-profile national platform.
  • Culture : Commitment to inclusion, mentorship, and professional excellence, not just words, but proven results.
  • Why Attorneys Join...and Stay

    Because this isn't a place where you disappear into the machine. It's where you do career-defining work in an environment that recognizes your humanity as much as your capability. You'll find mentorship, autonomy, and colleagues who inspire you to keep raising the bar.
