Labor & Employment Associate Attorney

$165k - $205k

Metric Geo

Labor & Employment Associate Attorney

Newport Beach, CA | Hybrid Flexibility | $165,000–$205,000 + Bonus

Metric is partnered with a highly respected Newport Beach law firm seeking a California-licensed Labor & Employment Associate Attorney to join its growing employer-side practice.

This is an excellent opportunity to work directly with business clients on sophisticated employment matters rather than insurance defense files.

What You'll Work On

  • Employment litigation, counseling, and dispute resolution
  • Wage & hour, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination matters
  • Single-plaintiff, class action, and PAGA litigation
  • Depositions, discovery, motions, mediations, and trial preparation
  • Direct client interaction and strategic advisory work

What They're Looking For

  • Active California Bar license
  • 2–10 years of employment litigation experience (Ideally 5+)
  • Strong writing, research, and analytical skills
  • Experience drafting pleadings, motions, and discovery
  • Collaborative, client-focused approach

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Employer-side practice (no insurance defense)
  • Direct access to clients and decision-makers
  • Sophisticated litigation with lower file volume
  • Strong mentorship and long-term growth potential
  • Collegial team and established firm platform
  • Hybrid flexibility for experienced attorneys

Compensation

$165,000–$205,000 Base + Performance Bonus + Full Benefits
