Job Description

A rapidly growing technology company is seeking a  Litigation Counsel (4909)  to join its fully remote legal team. This role is ideal for a high-performing, entrepreneurial attorney who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and wants to make a direct impact in a mission-driven organization. As a profitable Series C startup backed by leading investors, the company is disrupting the traditional staffing industry by empowering professionals to connect directly with organizations in need of on-demand talent. The legal department is a small, agile team of attorneys and paralegals who handle complex litigation and regulatory issues at scale.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Manage litigation workstreams related to independent contractor classification, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation matters
  • Lead the company’s unpaid revenue litigation strategy, collaborating with internal finance and operations teams
  • Partner with outside counsel and internal stakeholders on high-stakes litigation, discovery, and document management
  • Oversee subpoena and law enforcement response processes, refining internal playbooks and systems
  • Provide practical legal guidance to business teams across product, finance, and operations
  • Contribute to strategy and process improvements within the legal department

Qualifications :

  • Juris Doctor (JD) with minimum 5 years of litigation experience
  • Active California Bar license required
  • Strong background in complex, high-volume litigation—government, DOJ, or AG experience preferred
  • Exceptional written and analytical skills with the ability to work independently and handle ambiguity
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a lean, fast-moving environment
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias toward action and creative problem-solving
  • This position offers the best of both worlds—the challenge and pace of high-stakes litigation with the autonomy, flexibility, and innovation of a tech startup. Attorneys in this role gain broad exposure across multiple legal areas, work directly with senior leadership, and help shape the company’s legal and risk strategy.
