Labor & Employment Associate Attorney

Gpac

Opportunity: Labor & Employment Associate-Defense (Hybrid - Sacramento) Are you a litigator who thrives on high-stakes defense work but is tired of the 2,100-hour treadmill? A prestigious firm in Sacramento is looking to add a talented Associate to their growing Labor & Employment team.

This role offers a sophisticated caseload, a genuine path to partnership, and a rare focus on work-life integration.

The Work: A Balanced Defense Practice

The firm is seeking a specialist to manage a diverse portfolio with a strategic 50/50 split between:

* Single-Plaintiff Litigation: Defending against claims of discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and retaliation.

* Complex Class Actions: Leading the charge on PAGA claims and wage-and-hour class action defense.

What's in it for You?

* Manageable Billables: A highly competitive 1,700-hour requirement, allowing for high-quality work without the burnout.

* Partnership Track: Direct collaboration with senior attorneys and partners designed to fast-track your professional growth.

* Flexibility: Standard schedule is 3 days per week onsite in Sacramento. However, candidates with significant experience may be considered for a more remote-heavy arrangement.

* Compensation: Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus a comprehensive benefits package.

Requirements

* Licensure: Must be admitted to the State Bar of California and in good standing (Active status).

* Experience: 2+ years of dedicated California Labor & Employment litigation experience.

* Subject Matter Expertise: Solid understanding of CA wage & hour laws, PAGA, and FEHA.

* Defense Background: Proven track record in a solid labor/employment defense practice.
