Outstanding achievement, including excellent law school record, strong references, and proven litigation and writing skills. We seek candidates who were ranked high in their class at top tier law schools. A J.D. from an ABA accredited law school is required.

Admission to CA Bar

Type of Experience

Familiarity and experience with employment litigation (including discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination suits) and wage and hour litigation are essential. Class action and/or PAGA experience would be very helpful but is not required. Familiarity with California civil procedure is also helpful.

Familiarity and experience with employment counseling (including the construction of employment policies and manuals, counseling regarding employee discipline and termination, and wage and hour counseling) are very helpful, but only limited experience in these areas is required.

The position will focus mostly on litigation and associated counseling.

Practice Area Summary

We represent national corporations both in litigation that is national in scope and in litigation that relates just to their California operations. Our employment lawyers handle some of the most cutting-edge work in the country along with a steady diet of more standard employment litigation. We frequently defend class, collective, and representative actions of all kinds; claims of discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination; retaliation and whistleblower claims; and disputes regarding pay equity and executive compensation; we also conduct sensitive internal investigations involving high risk allegations. Clients often turn to us when employment-related claims implicate fundamental aspects of their business model and require sophisticated advice and counseling in addition to top-notch litigation handling.
