    Description

    Associate Attorney – Plaintiffs' Employment & Class Action Litigation

    Location: California (In-Person)

    Experience: 0–3 years

    Compensation: $120,000–$180,000 base salary (DOE) + graduated equity participation

    About the Firm

    We are a high-level plaintiffs' litigation firm that represents individuals and classes in sexual harassment, FEHA, employment, and high-stakes class action litigation. Our practice is trial-focused, results-driven, and built on taking on difficult cases against well-funded sophisticated defendants. We do not run a volume practice. We litigate aggressively, strategically, and with the expectation that our cases may go to trial.

    This is not a lifestyle firm. It is a firm where talented lawyers develop quickly, gain real responsibility early, and are rewarded for their contributions.

    What we offer


    • Hands on mentorship from experienced trial lawyers (trial prep, motion practice, settlement strategy, client management, appeals).


    • A collaborative, high-expectation environment that develops courtroom-ready advocates.


    • Opportunity to work on large-scale class and representative actions against major companies and institutions.

    Who we're looking for


    • Drive and initiative


    • Adaptability and intellectual curiosity


    • Team mentality and strong communication


    • Strategic judgment and effective intelligence


    • Resiliency, emotional strength, integrity, and humility

    The Position

    We are seeking a highly motivated Associate Attorney (0–3 years experience) to join our litigation team. This role is ideal for someone who wants meaningful responsibility, hands-on experience, and long-term growth in plaintiffs' litigation.

    The workload ebbs and flows. There will be periods that demand significant time and focus – especially during heavy motions and as cases approach trial – and other periods that are more balanced. We are upfront about this because excellence in high-stakes litigation requires commitment.

    Responsibilities

    • Depending on experience, responsibilities will include:

    · Drafting pleadings, motions, and discovery in FEHA, sexual harassment, and class action matters

    · Taking and defending depositions (with mentorship and increasing independence)

    · Participating in mediations, settlement negotiations, and trial preparation

    · Client communication and case strategy development

    · Legal research and briefing on complex and novel issues

    · Working closely with partners on case development and trial strategy

    Associates are not siloed. You will see the full lifecycle of cases.

    Compensation & Growth

    · Base Salary: $120,000–$180,000 (depending on experience)

    · Graduated equity participation tied to cases and performance

    · Clear pathway for increased responsibility, compensation growth, and long-term advancement

    · Opportunity to build a career in elite plaintiffs' litigation, including trial experience

    ---

    Why This Role

    · Real responsibility early in your career

    · Exposure to high-impact cases that matter

    · Mentorship from experienced trial lawyers

    · A firm culture that rewards performance, loyalty, and results
