Looking to apply your labor and employment law expertise in a mission‑driven legal environment that values both excellence and work‑life balance?

  • Advise public agency and private clients on labor and employment law matters
  • Draft and review employment policies, contracts, and compliance documentation
  • Provide counsel on issues related to wage & hour laws, discrimination, workplace investigations, and discipline / termination
  • Support or lead negotiations in traditional labor law matters, including collective bargaining
  • Collaborate with a seasoned team of attorneys who specialize in public law and employment litigation
  • Maintain high‑quality written work, analysis, and client communications

  • Licensed to practice in California and in good standing
  • Exceptional research, writing, and analytical skills
  • A Juris Doctor from an ABA‑accredited law school
  • Minimum 3.0 GPA if under 5 years out of law school
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Public agency experience or strong interest in public law
  • Employment litigation background a plusExperience from a boutique labor firm, Am Law environment, or city attorney’s office
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills
  • Located in California or open to relocation
  • Why Join This Team

  • Meaningful Work : Make a difference by serving public entities and local communities
  • Remote Flexibility : 90–95% of attorneys work remotely or hybrid; no face‑time culture
  • Transparent Advancement : Partnership track without requiring a book of business
  • Fair Compensation : Salary ranges from $140K–$220K, based on experience + annual performance bonuses
  • Work‑Life Balance : Target of 1,850 billable hours
  • Supportive Environment : Collaborative colleagues who mentor and care about your development
