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)

As the business expands product surfaces, navigates regulatory complexity, and enters increasingly strategic partnerships, legal leadership is now mission-critical.

This is a foundational hire at a high-growth, mission-driven SaaS company.

Why this role?

• Acting as DRI on the company’s most sensitive initiatives
• Helping leadership move faster while strengthening risk discipline

The title is flexible and may include General Counsel for the right candidate.

• Act as strategic advisor to the CEO on negotiations, disputes, and sensitive matters
• Build and scale Owner’s Legal function as its first full-time legal hire
• Serve as DRI on litigation strategy, regulatory posture, and complex commercial agreements
• Partner with Product and Engineering to ensure new products and pricing models are built with compliance and risk minimization in mind
• Design scalable systems across contracting, compliance, governance, privacy, employment, and IP
• Manage outside counsel across corporate, regulatory, employment, and litigation matters
• Support fundraising, board matters, corporate governance, and investor communications
• Proactively identify legal risk areas and implement preventive frameworks

About You

• 8–10+ years of legal experience across law firm and in-house environments
• Broad, “full-stack” experience across commercial, corporate, compliance, IP, employment, and litigation oversight
• Builder mentality — energized by creating structure from scratch
• Strong executive presence and business judgment
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
• Able to partner closely with product and engineering teams
• Motivated to scale and eventually build a Legal team

Compensation

$250,000 – $325,000

Owner is open to increased compensation at the General Counsel level and may stretch beyond the posted range for the right candidate.

Perks

Comprehensive health coverage, Bay Area-based remote flexibility, unlimited PTO, and additional growth-stage benefits.

Whistler Partners is partnering with a market-leading technology law firm seeking a 3–6 year corporate associate to join its Crypto/Blockchain practice. This group advises cutting-edge crypto and web3 companies on high-profile transactional matters at the forefront of digital asset innovation.

Why this role?

This practice sits at the center of the venture and digital asset ecosystem. Associates work directly with crypto founders, token issuers, and web3 companies on venture financings, token issuances, and complex digital asset transactions.

• Structure and execute crypto token, digital asset, and NFT issuances.
• Support primary and secondary sales of crypto tokens and related digital assets.
• Assist with offshore structuring related to token and digital asset offerings.
• Provide general corporate counseling, including governance, compensation, and employment matters.
• Collaborate with broader deal teams advising technology and growth companies at all stages.

Top Requirements

• 3–6 years of transactional corporate experience (regulatory-only profiles not a fit).
• Demonstrated experience advising crypto, blockchain, or web3 companies.

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.
