NEW IN – Mid-Level Employment Litigation Attorney | 6–10 Years | Up to $220K DOE | Wage & Hour + Class Actions | National Plaintiff-Side Trial Practice | Remote I'm currently working with a nationally recognized plaintiff-side litigation firm that is looking to add a Mid-Level Employment Litigation Attorney to its team. This is an opportunity to work on complex wage-and-hour and class action litigation within a firm built around trial work , with exposure to matters being litigated across the country. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Trial-Focused Plaintiff Practice – Join a firm where complex litigation and trial work sit at the centre of the practice , rather than being a secondary capability. National Class Action Exposure – Work on employment matters that can span multiple jurisdictions and involve large-scale wage-and-hour disputes . High-Impact Employment Work – Handle substantive plaintiff-side matters involving misclassification, wage-and-hour violations, PAGA, FLSA and other complex employment claims . Work Alongside Experienced Trial Counsel – Gain exposure to sophisticated litigation strategy while supporting senior attorneys on significant matters. Growing National Platform – Join an expanding plaintiff-side practice with a broader national footprint and opportunities to work beyond a single local market. Remote Working Model – Work fully remotely while remaining part of a nationally active litigation team. The Role Support senior trial attorneys in developing and litigating plaintiff-side wage-and-hour matters. Draft and refine substantive motions, briefs and other litigation documents. Manage written discovery and take and defend depositions. Handle wage-and-hour disputes involving misclassification, meal and rest break violations, expense reimbursement and off-the-clock work. Work on PAGA and FLSA claims , including representative and collective components where applicable. Support class action litigation from case development through resolution. Contribute to litigation strategy and maintain high-quality written work product. Take increasing ownership of matters as your experience develops.
