Employment & Labor Associate | Litigation, Investigations & Executive Counseling
Employment + Labor Associate (4-6 Years) 📍 California (Multiple Office Options)
Compensation: $235,000-$310,000
If you're looking for a practice that goes well beyond the ordinary employment litigation, this opportunity offers exposure to nearly every aspect of the employer-side employment lifecycle.
A leading international law firm is seeking a mid-level associate to join its highly regarded Employment & Labor team. The practice advises public companies, emerging growth businesses, and market-leading employers on some of their most complex workforce challenges.
Attorneys in this group regularly work on:
* Trade secret and employee mobility disputes
* High-stakes discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination matters
* Wage & hour class, collective, and representative actions
* Workplace and executive-level investigations
* Executive employment and separation agreements
* Employment issues arising in mergers, acquisitions, and corporate transactions
This role is ideal for an attorney seeking a well-rounded practice with substantial client contact, sophisticated matters, and a clear path toward increased responsibility. Associates are encouraged to take ownership of their careers while benefiting from a structured mentorship platform.
Ideal Background
* 4-6 years of employment law experience
* Litigation experience with increasing case management responsibility
* Strong brief-writing and deposition experience
* Trial experience is a plus but not required
* California bar admission
Why This Role Stands Out
* One of the country's most respected employment practices
* Exposure to litigation, advice & counsel, investigations, and transactions
* Direct access to high-profile clients and complex matters
* Transparent advancement and mentorship programs
* Market compensation and exceptional resources for professional growth
