Plaintiff-Side Employment Litigation Associate | Hands-on trial practice | Real responsibility (depos/hearings) | Boutique growth opportunity | Beverly Hills (Remote)

Highlights

• Plaintiff-side employment practice focused on high-impact matters (FEHA discrimination/harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, wage & hour, etc.).
• Train directly under a highly ranked plaintiff-side employment litigator (Super Lawyers–recognized, ex–Latham) in a hands-on boutique where attorneys get early responsibility on trial-driven cases.
• Results-driven shop with a track record of meaningful outcomes (multiple 7-figure settlements/verdicts listed publicly).
• Trial-forward mindset: matters are staffed and prepared with the expectation they may go the distance (strong training ground vs being siloed).
• Small team = faster growth: close partner access, direct feedback loop, and earlier responsibility than most larger platforms.
• Growing boutique adding headcount (1–2 more hires planned over the next year) with a chance to join during a build phase
