  • Cultivate new client leads through networking, industry events, and leveraging the firm’s reputation in employment law.
  • 4. Team Supervision & Mentorship :

  • Supervise and mentor junior attorneys and staff, ensuring high-quality work and providing guidance on PAGA-related legal matters.
  • Review and approve legal work, including motions, pleadings, and discovery responses, to ensure compliance and quality.
  • Foster a collaborative work environment, encouraging professional growth and ensuring that team members stay up-to-date with PAGA developments and strategies
