A bit about us:

With more than a century of history and headquartered in Pasadena, we are California's largest and most established regional firm — over 40 attorneys serving employers, families, developers, municipalities, and high net worth individuals across employment, real estate, estate planning, tax, and public agency matters. Drawing on nearly a thousand years of combined legal experience, we operate as a full-service practice with the depth of a large firm and the culture of a place where attorneys are actually known by name.

Why join us?
  • Base salary range: $120k to $225k (DOE) + structured performance-based bonuses — up to $300k total comp
  • Quarterly bonus cadence tied to billable hours, originations, and collections
  • Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) with match
  • Generous PTO, sick leave, and paid holidays
  • Remote from anywhere in California or hybrid in Pasadena — your call

Job Details
  • Defend employers across the full spectrum of employment litigation — wage and hour, PAGA, discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination
  • Handle matters from inception through resolution: pleadings, discovery, motion practice, depositions, and trial preparation
  • Advise employer clients on compliance with California and federal labor and employment laws
  • Draft policies, handbooks, and employment agreements to reduce litigation exposure
  • Collaborate with firm attorneys on cross-practice matters with an employment dimension
Looking For:

  • Active California bar license
  • Minimum 3 years of defense-side employment law experience
  • Strong PAGA case handling background
  • Demonstrated ability to manage a caseload independently and deliver practical compliance counsel
Any combination of the following is fine, you don't need all of them:

  • Wage and Hour Defense
  • PAGA (Private Attorneys General Act)
  • Wrongful Termination
  • Discrimination and Retaliation Defense
  • Employment Compliance and Handbook Drafting
  • Labor and Employment Law (CA and Federal)
  • Class Action Defense
