Required.

Type of Experience

Familiarity and experience with employment litigation (including discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination suits) and wage and hour litigation are essential. Class action 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 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.

Type of Work

Depends on experience and demonstrated ability; our client tends to get some of the best litigation in this area across the country.

Level of Responsibility

Depends on experience and demonstrated ability.

Degree of Client Contact

As much as appropriate: depends on experience and client skills – no preconceived limitation. Our client's labor and employment practice affords junior lawyers significant client contact and the opportunities to run cases, and it is their hope that the lawyer filling this position will be in a position to run some cases immediately upon joining the firm.

Travel

Not much; some of their work is outside of California, and may require travel for hearings and depositions. Most of their litigation is based in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas and staffed from those respective offices.

Billable Hours

They have no formal billable hour requirement. Their lawyers work hard. Commitment to the firm, clients and matters is what counts.

Practice Area Summary

They represent national corporations both in litigation that is national in scope and in litigation that relates just to their California operations. Their employment lawyers handle some of the most cutting edge work in the country along with a steady diet of more standard employment litigation. They 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; they also conduct sensitive internal investigations involving high risk allegations. Clients often turn to them when employment-related claims implicate fundamental aspects of their business model and require sophisticated advice and counseling in addition to top-notch litigation handling.

The salary range is the one that our client reasonably expects to pay for this position. The salary range does not guarantee, obligate, nor set expectations of an applicant’s wage in the event of hire. The posted range is only one component of our client’s Total Rewards package.
