The ideal candidate will be based in San Diego and primarily work remotely, with the flexibility to come into the office periodically for collaboration, hearings, or team needs. This engagement role is open to permanent or engagement‑to‑hire candidates.

Conduct legal research and analysis and provide practical, business‑minded litigation support to partners and clients.
Collaborate closely with a small, experienced litigation team in a collegial, low‑ego environment.
Qualifications
California‑licensed attorney with 4+ years of general litigation experience; employment litigation experience strongly preferred but not required for a strong litigator.
Solid background in legal research, writing, and analysis, with comfort drafting substantive motions and discovery.
Experience defending employers in complex litigation (including PAGA and class claims) is a plus.
Professional, responsive, and able to manage assignments independently in a remote/hybrid setup.
