Job description

Big Law Employment Defense to Plaintiff Powerhouse : Wage & Hour Attorney (Remote, High Earnings)

Job Title : Litigation Attorney (Junior to Managing Attorney) – Employment (Wage & Hour and PAGA)

Job Location : The firm will consider hiring remote candidates if they live in CA. If not working onsite, they’ll only need to go to the office approximately once per month. The firm is open to candidates with at least 1 or more years of CA Wage & Hour and PAGA employment experience but wants to add senior-level talent as well. They are equally focused on hiring mid-level to senior or senior supervisory attorneys.

Compensation And Benefits

  • Base Salary : $140,000 - $250,000 per year (Top earners can expect to be in the mid-to high six-figures range; $600,000+).
  • Additional Compensation : Opportunity to earn a % of the firm's recovery on cases handled.
  • Benefits Include :
  • 401(k) plan
  • Comprehensive health (50% coverage level includes dependents), dental, and vision insurance
  • Flexible time off policy
  • Referral program
  • Discretionary quarterly bonuses

Why Pivot to Us?

  • Lucrative Earnings : Plaintiff-side settlements often surpass Big Law billable hours, unlocking significant financial rewards.
  • Remote Freedom : Work from anywhere in California with minimal office visits (senior team members attend every 4-6 weeks).
  • Fast-Track Growth : Become a Team Lead in months, with a proven path to rapid promotions.
  • Recession-Proof Practice : Wage and hour litigation thrives in downturns, ensuring steady work in a field dominating California’s courts.
  • Leverage Your Expertise : Your Big Law training in discovery, depositions, and procedure seamlessly fuels our high-stakes class action practice.
  • Apply Now : Ready to transform your employment defense experience into plaintiff-side success? Apply to join a premier firm revolutionizing wage and hour litigation. We seek defense attorneys passionate about mastering this dynamic field. Note : While FEHA experience is valued, our focus is wage and hour / PAGA, so commitment to this practice is essential.

    Join our leading California-based law firm, dominating wage and hour class actions and PAGA litigation, as we expand our top-performing team. We’re seeking Big Law employment defense attorneys ready to pivot their litigation expertise to a high-impact, plaintiff-side practice with exceptional earning potential and rapid career growth. Transition to the hottest area of employment law in California, where 49 PAGA cases are filed daily and 95% of some judges’ dockets are wage and hour matters.

    Key Responsibilities

  • Manage a caseload of ~40 wage and hour class action cases after initial training.
  • Apply your defense-honed skills to draft written discovery, conduct depositions, and represent clients in court hearings.
  • Engage confidently with clients and opposing counsel, leveraging your professional presence.
  • Qualifications

  • 1 or more years of wage & hour employment litigation experience (defense experience at firms like Ogletree, or Jackson Lewis strongly preferred; FEHA or PAGA experience a plus).
  • Eagerness to focuse on wage and hour class actions / PAGA litigation as a career focus (no prior wage and hour experience needed; full training provided).
  • Ability to work remotely across California with occasional travel (1-2 times / month) for court hearings, depositions, or client meetings.
  • First week in-person in Los Angeles for onboarding and systems training; fully remote thereafter.
  • Procedural rigor, professional demeanor, and drive to excel in a high-demand practice.
