Law & Motion Attorney

$180k - $250k

Shegerian-

We don't just practice employment law. We change it. This isn't a research role — it's something rarer: It's the attorney who shapes the law itself. As our Law & Motion Attorney, you'll work directly with firm shareholders to craft the appellate filings and dispositive motions that defend our record-setting verdicts and build California employment case law. Your words will be cited by courts. Your arguments will protect wins that changed workers' lives.

AT A GLANCE

#1 Ranked Plaintiff Employment Firm in CA Record-Setting Verdicts Day One — Meaningful Writing Work One-on-One — Partner Mentorship THE OPPORTUNITY This is the role built for attorneys who want to shape the law, not just argue it. At most firms, law and motion work is treated as a research role. At Shegerian & Associates, it’s a cornerstone of how we win — and how we protect those wins on appeal. From day one, you’ll work directly with firm shareholders on the briefs, motions, and appellate filings that defend our record-setting verdicts and advance California employment law. We represent workers who’ve been wrongfully terminated, harassed, and discriminated against. The stakes are personal. The advocacy is aggressive. And the legal writing we produce doesn’t just support cases, it creates precedent. What You’ll Do Draft and refine the high-stakes legal writing that happens after the verdict, appeals, dispositive motions, and strategic briefs that hold our wins and advance the law in favor of employees across California. Who We’re Looking For A California-barred attorney with 4+ years of focused legal research and writing experience in employment law. You’re the right fit if you: Are a genuinely exceptional writer who doesn’t just state the law — you make the argument feel inevitable Bring creativity and craft to every brief finding the angle others miss, structuring arguments that stick Have a track record with dispositive motions, appellate filings, or high-impact briefs Can work independently while staying tightly connected to a litigation team Care about the outcome, not just the prose This role rewards attorneys who think of legal writing as a discipline — where word choice, structure, and narrative are as important as the citations. J.D. from an accredited law school required. Compensation Base salary of $180,000—$250,000 commensurate with experience, plus performance-based commission Benefits That Actually Cover You Your health is fully covered. The firm pays 100% of premiums for dental, vision, and Silver-level medical — zero cost to you and a firm-contributed $500 FSA. High-Impact Work Your writing will directly influence trial outcomes in some of the most significant employment cases in the country. Retirement Built to Compound Approximately 10% employer retirement contribution (3% Safe Harbor + 7% Profit Sharing) — well above industry standard and structured to grow significantly over time. Time & Flexibility Hybrid workplace. 80 hours PTO, sick time, and yes—your birthday off. Because the firm actually means it when they say they care about their people. The Professional Stuff, Covered Bar dues, MCLEs, and referral bonuses are all on the firm. Stay sharp, stay connected, and get rewarded for bringing in colleagues. Culture You Can Feel Firm-sponsored social and networking events that build real relationships — not just an item on a benefits sheet. #J-18808-Ljbffr Shegerian-
