Location: Palo Alto or San Francisco, CA
Direct Counsel represents an AmLaw 100 firm seeking a talented mid-level Employment Litigation Associate to join its highly regarded Employment & Trade Secret group.
The firm’s employment litigation team offers a uniquely broad and sophisticated practice.

Associates in this practice handle significant and complex matters involving all aspects of the employment relationship.

- Employment terminations, leaves of absence, and workplace policies
- Trade secrets, restrictive covenants, non-compete agreements, and employee mobility issues
- Employment-related issues in mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate transactions
- Internal investigations and employment disputes
Candidates must have excellent academic credentials, strong oral and written communication skills, and exceptional interpersonal abilities. California Bar membership is preferred , and candidates should be interested in residing in the firm’s Palo Alto or San Francisco office.
Compensation & Benefits
The expected salary range for this position is $260,000–$365,000 , depending on year of associate classification. Discretionary merit-based bonuses may also be awarded.
The firm offers a comprehensive benefits package, including:
- Wellness reimbursements
- 24/7 emotional and behavioral health support and virtual counseling
- Healthcare coverage for employees and eligible dependents
- Paid parental leave and parenting resources
- Career coaching and caregiver support programs
- Backup childcare services
- 401(k) retirement plan
