Job description

Litigation Associate

$175000 - $200000 per year | Los Angeles, CA | On-site | Permanent

Litigation Associate/Counsel (5-10 yrs) - Labor & Employment / Litigation / IP

A bit about us:

This seat sits at the intersection of labor & employment, general litigation, and IP — built for someone who wants meaningful courtroom reps, not a desk chair. We're a national platform with a genuinely trial-tested litigation culture; state court is not an occasional detour here, it's core to the docket.

Why join us?

Real state court trial experience is the point of this seat, not a nice-to-have — if you want reps in front of a judge, this is where you get them.

$190K compensation, positioned well above typical market comp for this experience band in LA.

Office or remote, with travel for court built into the role rather than an afterthought.

Cross-practice docket (L&E, litigation, IP) that keeps the work varied and builds a broader practice faster than a single-specialty seat.

Job Details

You'll run state court litigation from filing through trial — labor & employment disputes form the core, with general litigation and IP matters rounding out the docket. This is a hands-on courtroom role, not a document-review seat.

Must-haves:

• 5-8 years of litigation experience
• Extensive, demonstrable state court litigation experience (explicitly required - not federal-only backgrounds)
• Active California Bar admission (required)
• Willingness to travel for court appearances regardless of work location
