Salary Range: $155,000 - $225,000/year (DOE)
Employment Type: Full-Time | Direct Hire

About the Opportunity

HireNow Staffing is seeking a sharp, experienced Labor & Employment Attorney to join a highly respected law firm based in Los Angeles. This role is ideal for a litigator who brings deep knowledge of employment law and thrives in a fast-moving, collaborative legal environment. You'll be stepping into a firm that values strategic thinking, accountability, and client-first advocacy and one that offers long-term career potential with growth into leadership for high performers.

This is a defense-side role where your legal insight, case management discipline, and communication skills will be pivotal. If you're ready to handle high stakes matters and want to be part of a team that invests in both your professional development and your well-being, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead and manage a diverse caseload of employment law matters, including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, wage and hour claims, retaliation, and workplace investigations.

• Advise clients both private and public sector on employment compliance, policy development, risk mitigation, and best practices.

• Draft and argue motions, conduct discovery, manage depositions, and prepare cases for trial or resolution.

• Stay current on California and federal labor laws, regulatory developments, and emerging trends that may impact clients.

• Collaborate across teams, balancing autonomy with coordination alongside senior attorneys, support staff, and partners.

• Mentor junior associates, as appropriate, and contribute to the firm's legal excellence and knowledge-sharing culture.

Who Were Looking For

• Minimum of 5 years' experience practicing employment law, including a strong track record in litigation defense.

• Exceptional writing and analytical skills you can make complex legal concepts accessible and persuasive.

• Demonstrated success managing multiple active matters while meeting deadlines and billable hour goals.

• Experience working with public entities is advantageous but not essential.

• Active member of the California Bar, in good standing.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive Compensation: Base salary from $155,000 to $225,000, depending on experience and qualifications.

• Performance Bonuses: Both discretionary and structured bonuses tied to results and billable metrics.

• Manageable Billable Target: 1,900 hours annually with a strong infrastructure to help you succeed.

• Flexible Work Schedule: Hybrid setup that allows for both in-office collaboration and remote flexibility.

• Top-Tier Benefits: Choose from multiple medical, dental, vision, and retirement plans tailored to your lifestyle and family needs.

This Is the Right Fit If You

• Want to play a key role in a litigation team where your voice matters.

• Enjoy digging into employment law challenges and seeing them through to resolution.

• Are looking for a long-term role that provides both security and opportunity for upward growth.

• Appreciate a firm culture rooted in professionalism, mentorship, and excellence.
