This role suits an associate who thrives on direct client counsel rather than pure discovery disputes. You will guide California employers through wage-and-hour compliance, interactive accommodation processes, and leave administration while defending single-plaintiff actions in state court. The docket emphasizes preventative strategy alongside litigation management for clients across the state's key industries. Hybrid arrangements allow for regular in-person collaboration with the Sacramento-based team.
What this firm is looking for
- Active membership in the State Bar of California
- Three to seven years of labor and employment experience
- Hands-on background with California wage-and-hour and leave laws
- Experience defending employment cases in state or federal court
- Strong drafting skills for handbooks, policies, and demand responses
