Job description

confidential plaintiff-side litigation firm with a multi-state footprint is seeking a mid-level employment litigation attorney to support sophisticated wage and hour matters, including class and representative actions. This is a high-responsibility role for an attorney who enjoys motion practice, discovery, and strategic case development alongside experienced trial counsel.

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY STANDS OUT

• Plaintiff-side employment litigation practice with complex wage and hour work, including class action and PAGA matters.
• Exposure to multi-jurisdiction litigation and the opportunity to contribute to filings beyond a single state.
• Billable hours are not the primary performance focus, with day-to-day time expectations communicated as an 8-hour logged day using a flexible mix.
• Bonus philosophy tied to soft skills, leadership, and case progression rather than billable hours.

THE ROLE

• Support senior trial attorneys in developing and litigating plaintiff-side wage and hour matters from inception through resolution.
• Draft and argue motions and other substantive briefing; manage written discovery and take and defend depositions.
• Handle key casework for claims involving misclassification, meal and rest break violations, expense reimbursement, and off-the-clock work.
• Assist with representative and collective components, including PAGA and FLSA-related issues, where applicable.
• Coordinate case progression and maintain strong written work product aligned with firm standards.

LOCATION, SCHEDULE AND COMPENSATION

Location:

Fully remote (United States). California Bar admission is required.

Schedule:

Fully remote.

Compensation:

$180,000 to $220,000 base salary, depending on experience and writing strength.

REQUIREMENTS

• 6 to 10 years of plaintiff-side employment litigation experience.
• Substantive wage and hour experience, including misclassification, meal and rest break violations, expense reimbursement disputes, and off-the-clock work.
• Experience with PAGA and FLSA-related claims.
• Demonstrated ability to support senior trial attorneys.
• Writing sample required (two preferred).

PREFERRED BACKGROUND

• Experience supporting filings or litigation activity in additional jurisdictions such as New York, New Jersey, Washington, or Illinois.
• Leadership potential and interest in mentorship and team development, without being overly senior for an associate-level seat.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

• Bonuses based on soft skills, leadership, and case progression rather than billable hours.
• Billable hours are not a primary performance metric; the practice uses an 8-hours-logged daily expectation with a flexible mix.
