This non-partner-track role is designed for a senior attorney who enjoys owning day-to-day litigation, delivering consistent, high-quality service to a sophisticated client, and practicing law at a high level — without business development pressure.

The Role

You will manage a high-volume employment litigation docket from inception through resolution, serving as a primary point of contact for the PEO client, its customers, and the insurer. The practice is largely focused on administrative charges, attorney demand letters, and single-plaintiff employment litigation, with potential exposure to class actions and PAGA matters.

While the platform is remote, this role requires regular in-person advocacy. Candidates must be comfortable and available for court appearances, depositions, mediations, hearings, and trials, with some travel as needed in Northern California.

Key Responsibilities

• Handle employment matters end-to-end, including EPLI-covered claims
• Develop case strategy and manage matters independently
• Draft and review pleadings, motions, and discovery
• Take and defend depositions
• Represent clients in hearings, conferences, mediations, and trials
• Supervise and mentor attorneys and legal staff
• Collaborate closely with partners, associates, paralegals, and shared support teams
• Maintain proactive communication with the PEO client and insurance carrier

Qualifications

• JD from an ABA-accredited law school
• 7+ years of employment law and litigation experience
• Active California bar admission (required)
• Experience appearing regularly in court and handling in-person proceedings
• Ability to manage a high-volume docket independently

Preferred Experience

• Prior law firm experience
• Experience working with PEOs
• EPLI matters and insurer relationships
• Comfort working in a remote environment while supporting in-person litigation needs

Why This Opportunity

• Remote platform with meaningful flexibility, and negotiable billable hours target
• No business development or book-of-business expectations
• Dedicated, long-term client relationship (not rotating matters)
• Sophisticated employment litigation work
• Collaborative, service-driven environment with strong internal support

Location Requirement:

Remote and based in Northern California. Candidates should be able to make in-person court appearances and related proceedings as needed.
