Blackstone Law is growing fast. With nearly 50 attorneys, we've become one of California's leading plaintiff-side employment law firms, representing employees in individual employment matters, wage-and-hour class actions, and PAGA litigation, and we're just getting started.

We've built a fast-moving, technology-driven firm that combines experienced legal judgment with technology and automation to work smarter and deliver better outcomes.

Our culture is collaborative, comfortable, performance-driven, and built for people who want to do exceptional work while still having a life outside of it.

Here at Blackstone Law, we are a family, valuing each person's contribution and investing in their growth, because we believe a firm that takes care of its team is a firm that delivers real value to its clients.

• Analyze employment records, including payroll, timekeeping, and policy documents, relevant to class and PAGA claims
• Communicate and manage relationships with clients, class representatives, witnesses, opposing counsel, experts, and the court as necessary during litigation
• Coordinate with and delegate work to litigation support staff to ensure efficient case progression
• Handle occasional crossover litigation involving discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and sexual harassment claims
• Ensure compliance with applicable procedural rules, court orders, and litigation deadlines
• Maintain organized case files and accurate litigation documentation
