Job description

Brand New Senior Employment Litigation Attorney | Elite Plaintiff Class Action Firm | Brief Writing Focus | No Billable Pressure | Partnership Track | Fully - San Francisco Bay Area | Up to $200k+

I'm currently working with one of California's most respected plaintiff-side employment litigation firms on a rare opportunity that would suit an attorney who genuinely enjoys the intellectual side of litigation.

If you're the person everyone turns to for drafting major motions, class certification briefs and dispositive motions—but you're tired of being judged by billable hours—this is an opportunity to focus on what you do best while working alongside some of California's leading employment litigators.

Highlights

• Join one of California's leading plaintiff-side employment litigation boutiques, renowned for complex wage & hour class actions.
• Focus on high-level brief writing, class certification motions and dispositive motions—not managing a large caseload.
• Billable hours are not the primary measure of success; quality legal work comes first.
• Genuine partnership track for attorneys who demonstrate exceptional legal writing and strategic thinking.
• Work on high-profile, precedent-setting employment class actions alongside nationally recognised litigators.
• Boutique culture with sophisticated work, meaningful responsibility and direct access to experienced trial attorneys.
• Collaborative, low-ego team that values mentorship, professional development and work-life balance.

The Role

• Draft and refine class certification briefs, dispositive motions and other substantive filings in complex wage & hour class actions and employment litigation.
• Partner with trial attorneys to develop litigation strategy and persuasive legal arguments.
• Conduct sophisticated legal research and analyse evolving employment law issues.
• Review deposition transcripts, discovery and evidentiary records to build compelling written advocacy.
• Support litigation teams through key milestones, hearings and strategic motion practice.
• Play an integral role in some of California's most significant plaintiff-side employment class actions.

About You

Must Have

• Minimum 5 years' employment litigation experience.
• Judicial clerkship experience or extensive wage & hour class action experience.
• Exceptional legal writing skills with writing samples available.
• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school.

Nice to Have

• Experience transitioning from a litigation-heavy practice into a writing-focused strategic role.

Location

Fully remote

• Base salary around $200,000 DOE
• Performance bonus
• Fully Remote
• Billable hours are not the primary performance metric
• Performance is recognised through legal excellence, leadership, mentorship and contribution to successful case outcomes—not simply hours billed

We’ll be happy to discuss this position in more detail.
