Description

Make your mark in labor & employment litigation.

You thrive on strategy, advocacy, and results. This opening is an opportunity to put those strengths to work at a firm that values your talent.

This Orange County–based labor and employment firm is seeking a litigation attorney who’s ready to jump into depositions, law and motion, and courtroom work, while partnering with a team known for its collaborative culture and practical approach to client service.

Here, you’ll handle meaningful disputes for employers across industries and see your skills directly shape case outcomes.

What You’ll Do

As part of the litigation team, you will:

+ Handle written discovery, document review, and case analysis

+ Prepare trial strategy, witness outlines, and evidentiary submissions

+ Represent clients at hearings, mediations, arbitrations, and trials

+ Advise clients on litigation risks and potential outcomes in employment disputes (wrongful termination, discrimination, wage and hour, harassment, PAGA, class actions, etc.)

Why Join Us

At this firm, you’ll gain hands-on litigation experience while working alongside attorneys who value collaboration, mentorship, and professional growth. This isn’t a “volume shop” - you’ll have the chance to dig into cases, develop your advocacy, and build long-term client relationships.

+ Hybrid work schedule (3 days onsite / 2 remote after training)

+ Exposure to trials, arbitrations, and appellate work

+ A supportive team that celebrates both wins in the courtroom and milestones in your career
