Los Angeles, CA

Practice Area:

Job Description:

At Nixon Peabody, we are committed to attracting talented individuals from a wide range of experiences and cultures, including individuals from a wide range of racial, ethnic, social, economic, religious, genders, and personal backgrounds. Therefore, we encourage talented individuals of all backgrounds and experiences to apply.

Our full-service L&E practice delivers creative, specialized, and real-world solutions to keep our clients' businesses moving forward. Our diverse team of more than 60 labor and employment attorneys cover every angle of the workplace: from safety regulations to employee use of social media.

In accordance with applicable Federal and State laws, the anticipated annual salary range for this position is as follows.

  • Los Angeles, CA: $215,000 to $250,000

In addition to a standard benefits package, this role may be eligible for additional contingent compensation based on an array of factors, including but not limited to: work performance, geographic location, work experience, education, and qualifications. Because such contingent compensation is not yet calculable or may be zero ($0) in some circumstances, the above-listed salary range is Nixon Peabody's good faith estimate of the annual salary it reasonably expects to pay for the position at the time of this posting.

Job Requirements:

Our Labor & Employment Group is seeking to hire a junior -level associate to be based in our Los Angeles office. California State Bar admission is required. The ideal candidate will have one to three years of experience in handling employment litigation and providing labor and employment compliance advice to employers. Wage and hour class/collective/representative action experience and managing cases independently is a plus. We pride ourselves in providing both formal and informal training, mentorship and hands-on experience by staffing our cases leanly and efficiently. Associates work directly with partners on matters and often have direct contact with clients.

A career at Nixon Peabody is the opportunity to do work that matters. It's a chance to use your knowledge to shape what's ahead, to innovate, to learn at a firm that taps into the power of collaboration and collective thinking.

Principals Only.

Nixon Peabody LLP is an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer: Disability / Veteran.

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance and the Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
