    Description

    Associate Attorney – Plaintiff Employment Litigation

    Base Salary: $150,000–$175,000 DOE + Performance Commissions

    Shegerian & Associates is California's premier plaintiff-side employment law firm, nationally recognized for record-setting verdicts and aggressive trial advocacy. Led by renowned trial lawyer Carney Shegerian, the firm is built for attorneys who want real responsibility, serious courtroom time, and a clear path to becoming elite trial lawyers.

    This is not a back-office role. Associates are entrusted with meaningful work immediately—taking depositions, arguing motions, managing their own dockets, and preparing cases for trial alongside some of the most respected trial attorneys in the state.

    The Opportunity

    This role is designed for driven litigators who want to accelerate their development. You will gain hands-on experience from day one, with direct mentorship and exposure that many firms delay for years.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Manage a docket of employment law cases from intake through trial
    • Draft pleadings, discovery, motions, and trial briefs
    • Take and defend depositions
    • Appear in court for hearings and motion practice
    • Work directly with clients and contribute to case strategy
    • Participate in mediations, arbitrations, and settlement negotiations
    • Assist in trial preparation and serve as second chair when applicable

    Qualifications

    • Active member in good standing with both the California AND New York State Bar
    • 1–6 years of litigation experience (employment law preferred)
    • Strong legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills
    • Ability to manage cases independently and meet deadlines
    • Demonstrated interest in trial work and professional growth
    • Trial or substantial trial-preparation experience is a strong plus

    Compensation & Advancement

    • Base Salary: $150,000–$175,000 DOE
    • Performance Commissions: Up to 5.5%
    • Many associates out-earn peers at comparable firms
    • Clear, merit-based path to advancement, including shareholder opportunities

    Benefits

    • 100% employer-paid dental and vision
    • 100% employer-paid Silver-level medical plans
    • Approximately 10% retirement contribution (3% Safe Harbor + 7% Profit Sharing)
    • $500 annual FSA contribution
    • 80 hours PTO + sick time + paid birthday off
    • Firm-paid bar dues and MCLEs
    • Attorney referral bonuses
    • Firm-sponsored social and networking events

    Culture

    • High expectations paired with hands-on mentorship
    • Mission-focused practice dedicated to protecting employees' rights
    • Submit a resume and cover letter outlining relevant experience to
