Job description

NEW IN - Employment Litigation Associate | 4+ Years | Trial-Focused Defense Practice | Sophisticated Employer Clients | Downtown LA - Remote

I'm currently working with an established California Labor & Employment practice that is looking to add an Employment Litigation Associate to its Los Angeles team. This is a strong opportunity for an attorney who wants genuine litigation responsibility, meaningful trial exposure and direct client contact within a smaller, highly experienced employment practice.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Real Trial Exposure - Work alongside experienced trial attorneys on matters that can progress from initial strategy through hearings, trial and verdict, rather than being limited to pre-trial work.
• Sophisticated Employer & Public-Sector Clients - Gain exposure to institutional, corporate and governmental clients on significant employment and labor disputes.
• Litigation + Counseling - Build a broader practice through employment investigations, compliance, policy development and management advice alongside contentious litigation.
• Hands-On Senior-Level Access - Work closely with experienced attorneys throughout the litigation process, giving you direct exposure to case strategy, client decisions and substantive advocacy.
• Defense-Focused Employment Practice - Develop deeper expertise representing employers across labor, employment and workplace disputes, including complex matters.
• Personalized Firm Environment - Join a practice that places a strong emphasis on personalized client service, attention to detail, teamwork and professional development rather than a highly bureaucratic environment.

The Role

• Handle California Employment Defense litigation matters from inception through resolution.
• Draft pleadings, motions, briefs and substantive litigation documents.
• Manage discovery and assist with depositions, hearings, mediations and trial preparation.
• Conduct legal research and contribute to case strategy and litigation planning.
• Advise employer clients on employment-related disputes and issues.
• Take increasing ownership of matters as your experience develops.
• Work directly with senior attorneys and clients throughout the litigation process.
• Gain exposure to employment investigations and counseling matters alongside litigation.
• Trial-focused Employment Litigation practice.

About You

• 4+ years of Employment Litigation experience.
• Defense-side experience preferred; plaintiff-side experience considered.
• Active California Bar admission in good standing.
• Strong litigation, legal research and writing skills.
• Comfortable handling substantive litigation work with increasing autonomy.
• Strong communication and client-facing skills.
• Prior law firm experience.

Location

• Downtown Los Angeles, California - Fully Remote

Package

• Up to $155,000 base salary, depending on experience and qualifications.

If you're an Employment litigator looking to work alongside experienced trial attorneys, gain genuine courtroom exposure and build a broader employer-side practice, I'd love to speak with you.
