This role is ideal for a strategic and client-focused attorney with experience in employment law who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and is passionate about advocating for employee rights. The position focuses on early-stage legal strategy, factual development, client counseling, and negotiation before formal litigation begins.

  • Supportive and fast-paced work environment
  • Ongoing professional development and mentorship
  • Collaborative team culture with direct access to partners
  • Hybrid and fully remote options!

Key Responsibilities :

  • Manage a high-volume caseload of employment-related matters in the pre-litigation phase, including claims of wrongful termination, wage and hour violations, retaliation, and discrimination.
  • Conduct detailed client interviews, assess legal claims, and develop case strategies.
  • Draft demand letters, legal memos, and early-stage legal documents.
  • Gather and review evidence including personnel files, wage statements, and written communications.
  • Negotiate settlements and communicate directly with opposing counsel to seek early resolution.
  • Collaborate with intake, litigation, and operations teams to ensure smooth case progression.
  • Prepare matters for litigation handoff when pre-suit resolution is not possible.
  • Maintain strong client communication throughout the case lifecycle.
  • Requirements :

  • Active member of the California Bar.
  • 7+ years of experience in employment law litigation, including substantial exposure to wage and hour, class action, and PAGA matters.
  • Experience drafting demand letters and negotiating pre-suit settlements.
  • Ability to manage multiple cases in a deadline-driven environment.
  • Empathetic, strategic, and solutions-oriented approach to client matters.
