Job Description

Why This Role Stands Out

• Flexible with work location: hybrid or remote arrangements considered; must be within commuting distance of one of the firm's California offices (San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Irvine).
• Big Law work without Big Law burnout: handle complex class action and PAGA litigation in a more balanced, lifestyle-conscious environment.
• Strong demand and immediate need: position open due to growth and recent transitions; work is readily available.
• Collaborative and inclusive culture: internal committees such as DEI, Training, Blog, Rewards, and others; mentorship is built into the onboarding process.
• Lifestyle-friendly and casual: competes with top employment firms in legal scope while maintaining a family-oriented, approachable work environment.
• Engaged and transparent leadership: attorneys enjoy regular team meetings, active mentorship, and participation in the annual attorney retreat.

• Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and settlement documents.

• 2-7 years of California wage and hour class action defense experience.
• Strong litigation skills, including drafting, oral argument, and strategic case handling.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team setting.
• Excellent writing, analytical, and interpersonal skills.
• Licensed and in good standing with the California Bar.
• Bilingual capabilities are a plus.

What You'll Receive

• Competitive base salary ranging from $150,000 to $215,000, depending on experience. Higher compensation may be considered for the right candidate.
• Twice-yearly bonuses based on hours billed over target; annual discretionary bonus potential.
• Flexible billable hours target, typically averaging 1800, with some attorneys ranging from 1500 to 1900.
• Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, FSA, life insurance, disability coverage, EAP, and telemedicine services.
• 401(k) with profit-sharing in profitable years.
• Paid holidays, PTO, and paid parental leave.
• Business casual dress code and office parking in most locations.

Who Should Apply
