About Whistler Partners

Matchmakers, Not Headhunters

Whistler Partners is a boutique matchmaking firm focused on counseling the best and the brightest attorneys over the course of their careers. We believe that the right move comes from working closely with talent to curate their long-term career paths. When it comes to career advice, what matters is not the size of the agency but the strength of your individual recruiter.

We readily admit that we are elite and only work with the best – after all, a little elitism is okay when it comes to your career. Employers love us because we are picky about whom we represent, and attorneys love us because we get them their dream jobs.

There's a version of California employment law that only exists in the Bay Area, and you're either doing it or you're watching it from the wrong seat.

The companies here don't look like the rest of the country. They're pre-IPO startups doing their first RIF and realizing they have no severance framework. They're public tech companies navigating board-level investigations into workplace culture. They're growth-stage businesses acquiring competitors and discovering the target has wage & hour exposure baked into its contractor model. The employment issues in this market are woven into corporate transactions, regulatory risk, and C-suite strategy in ways that most BigLaw L&E groups never touch.

But at your current firm, you're doing California employment defense and nothing else. Wage & hour class actions, PAGA, single-plaintiff claims — the work is real, but it's the same playbook on repeat. You aren't advising on the employment dimensions of an acquisition. You aren't counseling founders on equity compensation disputes. You aren't getting pulled into the boardroom when a workforce restructuring needs to happen in 72 hours.

An AmLaw 50 firm is building out its employment and labor team across its California offices, with a strong preference for San Francisco and Palo Alto. They want someone who can litigate California employment matters and advise on the transactional and counseling side. This isn't a class action factory — it's a practice that sits at the intersection of employment law and corporate strategy.

The work includes:

• Defending complex wage & hour class actions, PAGA claims, and single-plaintiff matters in California state and federal court
• Advising on employment aspects of M&A transactions and corporate restructurings
• Counseling tech and growth-stage companies on California employment compliance, workforce planning, and executive employment matters
• Class/representative action strategy from pre-litigation through resolution

What you bring:

• 2+ years of California employment litigation experience at a major law firm
• Interest in or exposure to transactional employment work (M&A diligence, workforce restructuring, executive employment)
• Strong legal writing and analytical skills
• California bar admission

What you get:

• A practice that blends litigation and transactional employment work — not just one or the other
• Clients that are tech companies, PE-backed platforms, and high-growth businesses, not a random docket of retail wage & hour cases
• Cravath scale ($260K-$390K depending on class year)

This is a unique opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding firm, take on meaningful responsibility, and play an important role in shaping our continued success. You will handle a broad range of family law matters while working alongside a collaborative, highly skilled legal team.

Our firm has worked hard to build a culture centered on collaboration, mutual support, and a healthy work-life balance. At our firm, you have true professional autonomy. You may determine your workload, select the cases you accept, and set your billable hour targets. Compensation is directly tied to your experience and billable hours, allowing you to earn in proportion to your contribution. In addition, we offer generous and comprehensive bonus programs designed to reward both individual excellence and team success. We also offer transparent and equitable promotion opportunities, ensuring your career can grow with the firm.

A Strong Foundation. A Meaningful Stage of Growth.

Founded by a Certified Family Law Specialist, The Zhou Law Group has spent more than a decade building a respected and disciplined presence in California family law.

Our team — including multiple Super Lawyers — has established a reputation for preparation, professionalism, and steady advocacy in complex divorce, custody, support, property division, and domestic violence matters. We understand that family law is rarely just legal — it is personal, emotional, and often life-defining. Our work requires both clarity and composure.

Over the past ten years, we have built a credible platform grounded in integrity, accountability, and consistent case standards. That foundation now supports a deliberate and structured phase of expansion.

We are seeking attorneys with at least five years of family law experience who are excited to join a fast-growing team and contribute meaningfully during a period of upward momentum.

In this role, you will:

• Manage substantive family law matters from strategy through resolution

Our Approach

We believe strong advocacy must be grounded in integrity, responsibility, and respect. In family law, firmness and empathy are not in conflict — they must coexist.

We approach each matter with preparation, discipline, and steady judgment, recognizing the human weight behind every decision. Our clients place significant trust in us during deeply personal transitions, and we honor that trust through professionalism, accountability, and thoughtful counsel.

As we grow, we do so deliberately — without compromising case quality or ethical standards. We value clarity over noise, long-term reputation over short-term gain, and character as much as capability.

Growth & Compensation

We are in a deliberate phase of expansion. As the firm grows, attorneys who demonstrate preparation and sound judgment take on increased case responsibility.

Our compensation model includes a competitive base salary combined with performance-based incentives tied to billable productivity and overall contribution.

For attorneys coming from traditional fixed-salary structures, our performance model often results in significantly higher total earning potential, depending on productivity and responsibility.
