Our Orange County, California office is seeking an attorney to join our Labor & Employment Practice. This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive, passionate attorney to assume a high-level role within a sophisticated practice, handling all aspects of labor and employment law.

Qualified candidates will be admitted to practice in California and have at least two (2) to fifteen (15) years of experience in employment law matters. Prior employment litigation experience is required (preferably on the management side), and employment counseling or in-house employment law experience is preferred. The role involves extensive contact with clients, governmental agencies, and opposing counsel.

Our Labor & Employment Practice represents clients nationwide in all phases and types of employment litigation, counseling, and training. Our team provides sound counsel in dozens of jurisdictions, and our size and geographic coverage allow us to offer consistent representation throughout the nation.

Qualified candidates will be comfortable drafting and responding to discovery and initial pleadings, drafting and arguing motions, and taking and defending depositions. Strong writing and analytical skills are required, along with the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. The successful candidate will be a self-starter who can work independently and as part of a team.

While employment law experience is preferred, we are also interested in developing talented attorneys with excellent skills in any litigation arena. If you have substantive litigation experience, a demonstrated interest in labor and employment law, and are looking for an opportunity in a growing, collaborative firm, we invite you to apply.

We offer competitive compensation and a range of benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and a 401k with employer match.
