Attorney - Employment Litigation - Los Angeles - $245K

NEW IN – Senior Employment Litigation Attorney | 6+ Years | Complex Defense Matters | Real Trial Exposure | Downtown LA I'm currently working with an established California Employment & Labor practice looking to add a Senior Employment Litigation Attorney to its Downtown Los Angeles team. This is a strong opportunity for an experienced litigator who wants to take genuine ownership of complex employment matters , work directly with sophisticated clients and build a broader practice spanning litigation, trial work, workplace investigations and strategic employment counseling . Why This Opportunity Stands Out Real Trial Exposure – Work in a practice where employment matters can progress from initial strategy through hearings, trial and verdict , giving you substantive courtroom exposure beyond routine discovery, motion practice and settlement. Senior-Level Case Ownership – Take meaningful responsibility for case strategy, substantive motions, discovery, depositions and client relationships , with the autonomy expected of an experienced Employment litigator. Sophisticated Employer Clients – Represent a diverse client base across private businesses, major institutions and governmental entities on significant employment and labor disputes. Complex, Sensitive Workplace Matters – Handle a broad range of employment issues involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage-and-hour claims and employee misconduct , including sensitive matters requiring sound legal and strategic judgment. Litigation + Counseling + Investigations – Build a broader practice across Employment Litigation, workplace investigations, compliance, policy development and strategic management advice , rather than being confined to a pure litigation role. Direct Access to Experienced Trial Attorneys – Work closely with highly experienced litigators on state and federal matters , gaining direct exposure to case strategy, advocacy and how complex disputes are handled from inception through resolution. Smaller Team, Bigger Role – Join an established practice where a senior attorney can have a visible impact on significant matters and client relationships , rather than being one layer within a large, heavily structured team. Broad Defense Practice – Develop experience representing employers across litigation, counseling, investigations and risk management , allowing you to build a more commercially rounded Employment practice.
