What are the responsibilities and job description for the Employment Law Attorney – PAGA / Wage & Hour Defense (Associate & Partner) position at Primeline Solutions LLC?

Senior Employment Law Attorney – PAGA / Wage & Hour Defense

Full-Time | Fully Remote (California-Based Required) | $175K–$230K

Experience: 8 Years in Employment Defense | Active CA Bar Required | PAGA Expertise Required

Who This Is For

PAGA is your specialty — not a sideline. You've managed class action-style wage and hour claims from discovery through settlement negotiations or trial, you understand the compliance side as well as the litigation side, and you've built credibility with employer clients. You want a firm where that expertise is the core product, not a subset of a general litigation practice.

What You'll Do

  • Manage and litigate PAGA claims and wage and hour class actions from inception through resolution or trial
  • Develop and execute litigation strategies that balance risk, settlement value, and litigation cost
  • Oversee discovery, depose key witnesses, and prepare for hearings and trial
  • Advise employer clients on California labor law compliance, wage and hour audits, classification issues, and meal/rest break obligations
  • Supervise and mentor junior attorneys and staff; review motions, pleadings, and discovery responses
  • Contribute to business development — client presentations, compliance training, industry networking

What We're Looking For

  • 8 years of employment law defense experience with significant PAGA, class action, and wage/hour work (required)
  • Well-established, exclusive employment litigation defense background — not general civil litigation
  • Active California State Bar membership in good standing
  • Trial experience preferred; public entity defense experience a plus

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Fully remote; must be California-based. The practice covers workers' compensation, employment law, general liability, and DWC/OSIP audit consulting. Strong mentorship culture with a focus on proactive case management.
