    Description
    There's a version of California employment law that only exists in the Bay Area, and you're either doing it or you're watching it from the wrong seat.
    They're pre-IPO startups doing their first RIF and realizing they have no severance framework. They're public tech companies navigating board-level investigations into workplace culture. They're growth-stage businesses acquiring competitors and discovering the target has wage & hour exposure baked into its contractor model. The employment issues in this market are woven into corporate transactions, regulatory risk, and C-suite strategy in ways that most BigLaw L&E groups never touch.

    But at your current firm, you're doing California employment defense and nothing else. Wage & hour class actions, PAGA, single-plaintiff claims — the work is real, but it's the same playbook on repeat. You aren't advising on the employment dimensions of an acquisition. You aren't counseling founders on equity compensation disputes. An AmLaw 50 firm is building out its employment and labor team across its California offices, with a strong preference for San Francisco and Palo Alto. This isn't a class action factory — it's a practice that sits at the intersection of employment law and corporate strategy.

    Defending complex wage & hour class actions, PAGA claims, and single-plaintiff matters in California state and federal court
    Advising on employment aspects of M&A transactions and corporate restructurings
    Counseling tech and growth-stage companies on California employment compliance, workforce planning, and executive employment matters
    Class/representative action strategy from pre-litigation through resolution

    2+ years of California employment litigation experience at a major law firm
    ~ Strong legal writing and analytical skills
    ~ A practice that blends litigation and transactional employment work — not just one or the other
    Clients that are tech companies, PE-backed platforms, and high-growth businesses, not a random docket of retail wage & hour cases
