Career Consulting Partners is proud to partner with a well-established boutique labor and employment law firm located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. The firm is seeking a driven Labor and Employment Attorney to join its expanding plaintiff-side practice.

In this role, you will represent employees in wage-and-hour class and representative actions, handling claims related to unpaid overtime, meal and rest break violations, unreimbursed business expenses, and other employment-related issues. You will gain substantial hands-on litigation experience while working on high-impact cases against regional, national, and Fortune 500 companies across a variety of industries.

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school

• An active member of the California State Bar in good standing

• 1 - 4 years of experience practicing employment law, with a focus on wage and hour class action/PAGA

• Excellent research, writing, and communication skills

• Demonstrated ability to handle a caseload independently and meet deadlines

• Strong negotiation and advocacy skills

• Detail-oriented with excellent organizational skills
