The posting

Are you an accomplished Labor & Employment Litigation Attorney ready to take the next step in your career? Our client, a prestigious global law firm, is seeking an experienced Senior Counsel to join its expanding Labor & Employment practice in California.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned employment litigator who thrives on complex, high-stakes litigation and enjoys taking ownership of sophisticated legal matters. You'll represent employers, corporations, and public entities while working alongside talented attorneys in a collaborative, internationally recognized legal environment.

With significant autonomy, direct client relationships, meaningful courtroom experience, and opportunities to co-chair trials, this position offers the ideal combination of professional challenge, leadership, and career advancement.

What You'll Do

As Senior Counsel, you'll play a critical role in developing litigation strategies, managing complex employment disputes, and delivering exceptional legal representation.

  • Lead Complex Litigation: Independently manage approximately 10–20 sophisticated employment litigation matters from initial investigation through resolution.
  • Drive Case Strategy: Evaluate claims, assess exposure, develop litigation strategies, and provide practical, business-focused legal solutions.
  • Handle High-Level Litigation: Draft pleadings, dispositive motions, discovery responses, and substantive legal filings in California state and federal courts.
  • Advocate in Court: Take and defend depositions, argue motions, attend hearings, and represent clients in mediations and trial proceedings.
  • Gain Meaningful Trial Experience: Co-chair trials, participate in jury selection, conduct witness examinations, and manage trial motions and submissions.
  • Build Client Relationships: Serve as a trusted advisor to employers and public entities, providing strategic guidance throughout the litigation process.
  • Mentor Future Legal Leaders: Support and guide junior attorneys while contributing to the continued growth of the practice.

Requirements

  • strategic guidance throughout the litigation process.
  • Mentor Future Legal Leaders: Support and guide junior attorneys while contributing to the continued growth of the practice.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a confident, strategic, and highly skilled employment litigator who can independently handle complex matters while delivering exceptional client service.

Required Qualifications:

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school with a strong academic record.
  • Active California Bar membership in good standing.
  • Significant experience representing employers in labor and employment litigation.
  • Proven ability to independently manage litigation from inception through resolution.
  • Extensive experience with depositions, discovery, dispositive motions, mediations, and courtroom proceedings.
  • Strong understanding of California employment laws, including FEHA, and applicable federal employment statutes.
  • Exceptional legal research, writing, negotiation, and oral advocacy skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple complex cases while maintaining outstanding attention to detail.
  • Strong leadership, client relationship management, and mentoring abilities.

Highly Preferred:

  • Experience representing public entities in employment litigation.
  • Substantial courtroom and trial preparation experience.
  • Demonstrated success managing sophisticated, high-exposure employment disputes.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn't just another litigation position. It's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a growing practice while enjoying the resources, reputation, and professional opportunities of a global law firm.

Benefits

What Makes This Role Exceptional:

  • Competitive Compensation: Base salary of $230,000–$275,000, based on experience and qualifications.
  • Additional Earning Potential: Annual performance-based bonuses and a monthly bonus program offering up to $2,000 per month.
  • Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy a combination of remote work and in-office collaboration.
  • Meaningful Litigation Experience: Take ownership of sophisticated cases with substantial courtroom exposure and opportunities to co-chair trials.
  • Work-Life Balance: A firm culture that prioritizes flexibility, attorney well-being, and long-term career satisfaction.
  • Generous Parental Leave: Six months of fully paid parental leave.
  • Student Loan Assistance: Eligible attorneys may receive $250 per month toward qualifying student loans.
  • Wellness Support: $300 annually for eligible wellness activities, plus a dedicated Wellbeing Day.
  • Retirement Benefits: Retirement benefits beginning on day one, with immediate vesting.
  • Global Opportunities: Access to international offices, professional networking, and client-facing events throughout North America.
  • Career Development: Ongoing mentorship, leadership opportunities, and professional training within a respected global practice.
