We don't just practice employment law.

We change it.

This isn't a research role — it's something rarer: It's the attorney who shapes the law itself.

As our Law & Motion Attorney, you'll work directly with firm shareholders to craft the appellate filings and dispositive motions that defend our record-setting verdicts and build California employment case law.

Your words will be cited by courts.

Your arguments will protect wins that changed workers' lives.

From day one, you'll work directly with firm shareholders on the briefs, motions, and appellate filings that defend our record-setting verdicts and advance California employment law.

We represent workers who've been wrongfully terminated, harassed, and discriminated against.

The stakes are personal.

The advocacy is aggressive.

And the legal writing we produce doesn't just support cases, it creates precedent.

What You'll Do Draft and refine the high-stakes legal writing that happens after the verdict, appeals, dispositive motions, and strategic briefs that hold our wins and advance the law in favor of employees across California.

Benefits Compensation Base salary of $180,000-$250,000 commensurate with experience, plus performance-based commission Benefits That Actually Cover You Your health is fully covered.

Culture You Can Feel Firm-sponsored social and networking events that build real relationships — not just an item on a benefits sheet.

Who We're Looking For A California-barred attorney with 4+ years of focused legal research and writing experience — ideally in employment law.

You're the right fit if you: Are a genuinely exceptional writer who doesn't just state the law — you make the argument feel inevitable Bring creativity and craft to every brief finding the angle others miss, structuring arguments that stick Have a track record with dispositive motions, appellate filings, or high-impact briefs Can work independently while staying tightly connected to a litigation team Care about the outcome, not just the prose This role rewards attorneys who think of legal writing as a discipline — where word choice, structure, and narrative are are as important as the citations.
