Attorney | Labor & Employment | Hybrid | 147744

Let’s be direct: Mission Recruiting is representing a premier California-based firm known for defending law enforcement, firefighters, and public employees in complex, high-stakes litigation. In this practice area, cases aren't just "settled" to avoid costs—they are litigated to be won. If you are a gifted writer who wants your briefs to shape the law for first responders, this is your desk.

The Impact of Your Pen

• Meaningful Advocacy: You will represent the unions and individuals who keep our communities safe, handling complex employment matters and civil rights defense.
• Pure Litigation: Because these matters often involve government entities, you are more likely to see cases through to a decision rather than a quiet settlement.
• Early Ownership: Whether you are a first-year or a tenured senior, you’ll be trusted with drafting appellate filings, arguing motions, and participating in bench trials and administrative hearings.

The Reality of the Role

• The Writing: A strong writing sample is a non-negotiable requirement. We are looking for independent analytical depth and "Law and Motion" expertise.
• The Schedule: This is a hybrid-friendly role based in Encino. Once trust is established and your initial training is complete, the firm offers the flexibility modern attorneys need.
• The Commitment: 1,800 annual billable hours.
• The Compensation: Scaled by experience ($115k–$125k for entry-level; $150k+ for mid-level; up to $200k for seniors) plus a tiered bonus structure.

Why Join This Firm?

The firm fosters a mission-driven culture and provides some of the most robust benefits in the 2026 market:

• Health: 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage for both you and your dependents.
• Retirement: 401(k) with up to a 6% safe harbor match (eligible after 6 months).
• Flexibility: Unlimited PTO (performance-contingent), wellness programs, and full CLE support.

Salary Range: $115,000 - $200,000
