We are seeking an experienced Attorney with a strong background in defense-side employment litigation to handle matters ranging from traditional civil litigation to complex employment disputes.
This is a full-time, 40-hour-per-week, in-office position. We foster a collaborative environment where attorneys can do sophisticated work while still having a life outside the office.

- Advise clients on litigation risks, strategy, and resolution options
- Manage case files and deadlines with a high level of organization
- Stay current on developments in employment law and related areas
- Collaborate closely with a team of skilled attorneys, paralegals, and support staff
What We’re Looking For
- J.D. from an accredited law school
- Active membership in good standing with the California Bar
- 5+ years of litigation experience, ideally including defense-side employment work (healthcare experience is a plus)
- Strong command of civil procedure, evidence, and courtroom practice
- Proven ability to manage multiple matters and deadlines
- Excellent written and oral advocacy skills
- Strategic, analytical thinker with strong judgment
- Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently and in teams
- Tech-savvy, with proficiency in legal research tools
Why You’ll Like Working Here
- True work-life balance: predictable 40-hour workweeks and a culture that respects your time outside the office
- Family-friendly environment with understanding and flexibility around life’s demands
- In-office collaboration in a supportive, collegial setting
- Competitive total compensation package
- Employer-sponsored health insurance (medical, dental, vision)
- 401(k) with 5% employer match
