Associate Attorney - Public Entity Labor and Employment

ATKINSON ANDELSON LOYA RUUD & ROMO APC

Job Description

Job Description

Atkinson Andelson Loya Ruud & Romo (AALRR) is an AmLaw 200 law firm with a state-wide presence and nine offices, including four in Northern California. Our Public Entity Labor & Employment (PELE) Practice Group in Marin is expanding, and we are seeking one Associate Attorney (1–6 years of experience) to join a high-performing team representing public entity clients throughout California.

Key Responsibilities

Associates in this role will gain immediate client-facing experience and the opportunity to work on high-profile matters for public agencies. Responsibilities include:

  • Supporting litigation in trial and appellate courts, including discovery, depositions, motion practice, mediations, and settlement negotiations.
  • Advising public employers on day-to-day employment law issues, including ADA/FEHA accommodations, FMLA/CFRA compliance, FLSA wage/hour matters, and workplace policies.
  • Assisting with workplace investigations, drafting reports, and supporting senior attorneys in complex fact-finding processes.
  • Participating in administrative hearings before arbitrators and PERB.
  • Supporting labor relations work, including responding to union requests for information, assisting with meet-and-confer obligations, preparing discipline notices, and drafting Skelly decisions.
  • Drafting contracts, separation agreements, position statement responses, policies, and client advisories.
  • Researching and drafting legal opinions for public agency clients on employment and governance issues.

Qualifications

  • Experience: 1–6 years of labor and employment law or litigation experience (public-sector focus a plus).
  • Skills: Excellent research and writing ability, strong client communication skills, and the confidence to handle client matters with limited supervision.
  • Academic Background: Top 30% of law school class preferred; graduates from UC Berkeley, UC Law SF, UC Davis, Santa Clara, USF, or other highly regarded law schools encouraged to apply.
  • Mindset: Proactive, detail-oriented, collaborative, and passionate about local government.

Why AALRR?

This is a unique opportunity to work directly with high-profile public entity clients, grow quickly as a trusted advisor, and build a career in public-sector labor and employment law.

To Apply: Submit your resume, law school transcript, and a short writing sample.
