Labor & Employment Litigation Associate (5-7 Years' Experience)
Our San Francisco Labor & Employment team continues to grow! We are looking for a senior associate with 5-7 years' experience in labor and employment, with a significant emphasis on litigation. Experience with wage and hour class and PAGA actions is a plus. Ideal candidates will have strong litigation skills, including writing and arguing motions, and complex fact investigation and analysis. If you have taken and defended depositions that is a plus and you can expect to get more of that experience working on this team.
