Description du poste

NEW IN – Mid-Level Labor & Employment Litigation Associate | 5–7 Years | Wage & Hour + PAGA | Up to $320K DOE | Los Angeles | Fully Remote

I'm currently working closely with a nationally recognised Labor & Employment practice that is continuing to grow its California team. This is a strong opportunity for an attorney who wants sophisticated employer-side litigation, hands-on responsibility and direct exposure to experienced employment litigators, while having the resources of a major national platform behind them.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Complex Wage & Hour Litigation – Work on class actions, PAGA representative actions and single-plaintiff employment matters involving sophisticated employers and significant exposure.
• Substantive Responsibility – Take ownership of motions, discovery strategy, depositions and case development, rather than being limited to supporting work.
• Work Alongside Highly Experienced Litigators – Join a team with attorneys who have handled complex employment disputes in state and federal courts, including significant wage-and-hour matters and trials.
• National Platform, California Focus – Gain the resources and reach of a large national litigation practice while working closely with the California Employment team.
• Broad Employment Practice – Exposure extends beyond litigation into employment counseling, workplace policies, investigations, arbitration and risk management, allowing you to develop as a well-rounded employment attorney.
• Strong Professional Development – Develop alongside experienced employment attorneys with access to the mentorship, training and resources of an established national platform.

The Role

• Defend employers in wage-and-hour class actions and PAGA representative actions.
• Manage single-plaintiff employment litigation from inception through resolution.
• Take and defend depositions while developing overall discovery strategy.
• Draft motions, briefs, pleadings and other substantive litigation documents.
• Work closely with senior employment litigators on complex California matters.
• Develop case strategy and communicate directly with sophisticated employer clients.
• Contribute to hearings, mediations and trial preparation as matters progress.

About You

• 5–7 years of California Labor & Employment Litigation experience.
• Strong employer-side employment litigation experience.
• Experience defending wage-and-hour class actions and PAGA representative actions.
• Active California Bar admission in good standing.
• Experience with discovery, motion practice and depositions.
• Strong legal research, writing and advocacy skills.
• Ability to manage substantive litigation responsibilities with increasing autonomy.

Location

• Fully Remote

Package

• Up to $320,000 total compensation, depending on experience and qualifications.

If you're a California Employment litigator looking for sophisticated wage-and-hour and PAGA work, genuine case responsibility and the backing of a nationally recognised platform, I'd love to speak with you.
