- Apply your defense-honed skills to draft written discovery, conduct depositions, and represent clients in court hearings.
- Engage confidently with clients and opposing counsel, leveraging your professional presence.
Qualifications: - 2-7 years of litigation experience, with at least 1 year in employment law (defense experience at firms like Ogletree, or Jackson Lewis strongly preferred; FEHA or PAGA experience a plus).

- Ability to work remotely across California with occasional travel (1-2 times/month) for court hearings, depositions, or client meetings.

- Procedural rigor, professional demeanor, and drive to excel in a high-demand practice.
Apply Now : Ready to transform your employment defense experience into plaintiff-side success? Apply to join a premier firm revolutionizing wage and hour litigation.
