About the Opportunity
What if your next move gave you greater ownership of your cases, a direct voice in litigation strategy, and the opportunity to become a trusted adviser to the businesses you represent?

We’re working with a firm whose management-side employment practice represents employers across industries including hospitality, entertainment, technology, food and beverage, and digital media. The practice combines employment litigation with practical counseling, giving you the opportunity to help clients both defend disputes and navigate the workplace decisions that can prevent them.

The firm is seeking a senior labor and employment associate with 6+ years of experience to join its Los Angeles office. You would take substantial ownership of matters involving discrimination, harassment, wage and hour, wrongful termination, and restrictive covenants—managing discovery, taking and defending depositions, arguing motions, and preparing cases for trial. The role also includes direct client communication, close collaboration with partners, and opportunities to mentor junior associates.

It is an opportunity to bring your litigation experience to a growing management-side practice where you can help shape both case strategy and the development of the lawyers around you.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Meaningful case ownership, with opportunities to shape litigation strategy and lead matters through discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation
• A varied employer-side practice covering discrimination, harassment, wage and hour, wrongful termination, and restrictive covenant disputes
• Direct client involvement, combining litigation work with practical advice on day-to-day employment issues and reducing legal risk
• A senior role that includes working closely with partners on case strategy and helping junior associates develop their skills
• A growing Los Angeles practice offering a collaborative environment and room to make a meaningful contribution

Who We’re Looking For
A senior associate with at least six years of labor and employment litigation experience who is comfortable managing cases independently and making thoughtful strategic decisions. Candidates should have a J.D. from an accredited law school, strong academic credentials, and California bar admission.

The ideal candidate will bring hands-on deposition and courtroom experience, strong legal writing and analytical abilities, and the confidence to oversee discovery and prepare substantive pleadings and motions. Just as important, we’re looking for a proactive, collaborative attorney who communicates effectively, takes client service seriously, and is motivated to continue growing while supporting junior colleagues.
