Job Description

Our client is a highly regarded plaintiff-side employment law firm seeking a Senior Employment Attorney to join its growing practice. This is an opportunity for an experienced litigator to step into a meaningful, high-impact role with substantial autonomy, strong institutional support, and a sustainable workload.

The Opportunity

You will handle complex employment matters from inception through resolution, including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage-and-hour claims . The firm prioritizes strategic litigation, thoughtful advocacy, and professional excellence, volume-driven practices in favor of well-managed, high-quality cases.

Senior attorneys are trusted with ownership of their matters while benefiting from a collaborative environment that includes skilled support staff, experienced colleagues, and streamlined internal systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and litigate employment cases through discovery, motion practice, depositions, mediation, and trial as appropriate
• Serve as lead or senior counsel on complex matters
• Draft and argue dispositive and procedural motions
• Take and defend depositions of parties, witnesses, and experts
• Work directly with clients, providing strategic guidance and clear communication
• Mentor junior attorneys as needed

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 7+ years of employment law litigation experience (plaintiff-side strongly preferred)
• Demonstrated experience handling cases independently
• Strong deposition, motion, and negotiation skills
• Trial experience is valued but not required
• Active California Bar membership in good standing
• Professional judgment, intellectual rigor, and a client-centered mindset

Why This Role Stands Out

• Autonomy with support: Senior attorneys are empowered, not micromanaged
• Quality over quantity: Manageable caseloads that allow for excellent lawyering
• Flexibility: Remote or hybrid options available (California-based practice)
• Stability and growth: A well-established firm with a strong pipeline of cases
• Competitive compensation: $180,000 Base salary plus performance-based incentives

If you are a seasoned employment attorney looking for a role that values your experience, respects your time, and allows you to focus on meaningful advocacy, this position offers a compelling next step.

Salary Range: $180,000
