Labor Litigation Mid to Senior Level Associate

Position: Labor Employment Litigation Mid to Senior Level Associate
LABOR & EMPLOYMENT LITIGATION ASSOCIATE
San Francisco

A top AmLaw 100 is adding to its San Francisco labor and employment group. This is a litigation-forward practice with a steady pipeline of high-stakes matters and real responsibility from day one. The platform is established, the work is sophisticated, and the team is busy for the right reasons.

The Role

This associate will focus on employer-side labor and employment litigation, with an emphasis on complex matters. The docket includes:

• Wage and hour class and PAGA actions

• Discrimination and harassment class claims

• Representative actions in state and federal courts

• Targeted advice and internal investigations, as needed

You will work closely with partners who try cases, brief dispositive motions, and regularly appear before California courts. This is not a narrow role and not a back-office position.

Candidate Profile

• JD class years 2017–2021

• At least three years of labor and employment experience at a peer firm

• Hands‑on experience with class or representative actions strongly preferred

• Strong brief writing and motion practice skills

• California bar admission or ability to waive in

Associates coming from sophisticated employment practices who want deeper exposure to complex litigation will be well positioned here.

Why This Role

• High-end employer-side litigation without a niche ceiling

• Meaningful responsibility on class actions rather than document-only work

• Direct access to partners and leanly staffed matters

• Compensation currently ranging from $310,000 to $435,000, plus discretionary bonus

• San Francisco-based practice with national reach

This is a serious seat for associates who want to sharpen their litigation profile in a market-leading labor and employment group.
