About this role. What we're looking for:

We are seeking a seasoned California-licensed employment litigator with at least 8 years of experience defending employers in a variety of complex matters.

What you'll do:

Defend employers in litigation involving FEHA/Title VII claims, wage and hour disputes, and PAGA class actions in state and federal courts.

Take ownership of cases from inception through resolution, including handling discovery, law and motion, and appearing before agencies like the EEOC, CRD, and DLSE.

Work closely with clients to provide preventative counseling on workforce management, HR policies, and compliance with California's complex employment laws.

Contribute to the growth of the practice by servicing existing firm clients and developing your own portable book of business.

Lead case strategy and supervise the work of junior associates, providing mentorship and guidance.

Represent a diverse client base, from Silicon Valley tech companies to middle-market businesses, on their most critical employment law matters.
