Class Action Transactional Attorney

Direct Counsel is partnering with a highly respected plaintiff-side class action firm in Los Angeles—widely regarded as a powerhouse in wage-and-hour and consumer class action litigation—to add an experienced attorney to its growing team.

This firm is known for taking on regional, national, and Fortune 500 companies and winning. With an exceptionally active docket in both state and federal courts throughout California, the firm has recovered millions of dollars for thousands of employees and consumers and continues to scale its impact.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a traditional litigation associate role. Instead, you’ll focus on the deal-making side of class action litigation—crafting and negotiating the settlements that actually deliver justice to class members. If you enjoy precision, strategy, and seeing cases through to meaningful resolution, this role offers rare, hands-on exposure at a top plaintiff-side shop.

What You’ll Do

• Draft, negotiate, and revise class action settlement agreements

• Prepare and negotiate class notices, claim forms, and related settlement documents

• Draft and support motions for preliminary and final approval of class settlements

• Work closely with class action administrators, ensuring compliance with court orders and timelines

• Coordinate with litigation teams to move high-volume cases efficiently from resolution to distribution

Who They’re Looking For

• 3 years of California Bar admission

• Experience or strong interest in plaintiff-side class actions, wage & hour, or complex litigation

• Willingness to travel occasionally within California

• Strong drafting, negotiation, and organizational skills

• A positive, team-oriented mindset and interest in joining a collaborative group of 25 plaintiff-side attorneys committed to workplace justice

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary Range: $130,000 – $250,000 (commensurate with experience)

• Competitive bonus potential

• Benefits include:

  • Partially paid top-tier health insurance

  • 401(k)

  • Paid vacation and time off

  • Vision and dental coverage

• Strong emphasis on professional development, including firm-supported training, courses, and continuing legal education

The Big Picture

This is an exceptional opportunity to build a long-term career at a firm that is winning, growing, and deeply mission-driven. You’ll gain exposure to high-profile class actions, work alongside seasoned plaintiff-side attorneys, and play a key role in delivering real outcomes for workers and consumers across California.
