Job description
Junior Employment Litigation Associate Attorney Employer-Side Employment Litigation | California Bar Required Innovative Legal Services Firm | California
A growing and innovative legal services firm is seeking a Junior Employment Litigation Associate Attorney with 1–4 years of post-JD experience to join its expanding employment litigation practice. This is an excellent opportunity for a reliable, self-starting attorney who is ready to take ownership of substantive litigation work from day one. The ideal candidate will have experience handling employer-side employment matters and be comfortable managing an active caseload with a high level of autonomy.
The firm is currently expanding its workload, including a significant new wage and hour class action, and is looking for an attorney who can step in, contribute immediately, and help drive cases forward.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Handle employer-side employment litigation matters, including discrimination, wage and hour, and PAGA actions
- Manage pleadings, written discovery, depositions, and motion practice
- Work on matters in California state and federal courts
- Take ownership of substantive litigation tasks with limited hand-holding
- Assist with a major wage and hour class action matter
- Prepare for mediations, arbitrations, hearings, and case strategy meetings
- Draft strong legal arguments, motions, discovery responses, and client-facing updates
What We’re Looking For
- 1–4 years of post-JD employment litigation experience
- Active California Bar admission in good standing
- Employer-side employment litigation experience required
- Experience with wage and hour, discrimination, PAGA, or class action matters strongly preferred
- Strong legal writing, research, and advocacy skills
- Ability to work independently and manage deadlines
- A reliable, proactive, “set it and forget it” attorney who can own their work
- Writing sample required
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This role is ideal for an attorney who wants real litigation responsibility early in their career, not just background support work. You will have the opportunity to manage meaningful parts of cases, work closely with experienced litigators, and play a key role in a growing employment litigation practice.
