Employment Litigation Attorney
Plaintiff-Side - Fully Remote - California
No billable hour targets. No origination requirements. No big-law dysfunction. Just high-stakes employment litigation — done right.
WHY LABOR LAW PC
We built a firm where the cases are worth taking, the work product is something you’re proud of, and a place where good people stay.
Labor Law PC was founded in 2018 by a managing attorney who left a big-law litigation practice with a clear purpose: to build a firm where attorneys do serious, meaningful work for clients who genuinely need it — without the billable hour pressure, origination demands, and institutional dysfunction that push talented lawyers out of the profession.
Eight years later, we’ve built something rare: a fully remote, operationally mature plaintiff-side boutique with approximately 40 team members across the US and internationally, purpose-built systems and litigation support infrastructure, and a selective case philosophy that means every file on your desk is one the firm believes in. Our team includes attorneys from UCLA Law, Berkeley, and Georgetown who are as good to work with as they are at the work itself.
We’re growing. And we’re adding an attorney who wants to grow with us.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a full ownership role. You’ll carry a manageable caseload of California employment matters — discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage and hour class actions — and you’ll manage them from intake through resolution with the support of dedicated law clerks, a litigation coordinator, and firm-wide operational infrastructure.
You won’t be handed warm files with someone else’s strategy baked in. You’ll develop case strategy, guide clients, and make the calls. What you won’t have to do is fight for resources, generate business, or justify your hours on a spreadsheet.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Manage a caseload of California employment litigation matters with full case ownership
- Develop litigation strategy, conduct discovery, take and defend depositions
- Draft motions, briefs, and settlement demands
- Advise and communicate directly with clients throughout their cases
- Collaborate with firm leadership on case selection and litigation approach
- Contribute to a culture of excellence, accountability, and intentional practice
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We’re not hiring for raw productivity. We’re hiring for judgment, ownership, and craft.
The right candidate:
- Has 5+ years of California employment litigation experience (plaintiff or defense)
- Holds an active California Bar license
- Can manage cases independently from filing through resolution
- Writes and argues with clarity and precision
- Communicates proactively with clients
- Operates with genuine accountability: owns outcomes, flags problems early, asks for help when warranted
If you’ve spent years doing excellent work inside a firm where it felt invisible, this is a different environment.

No Billables — Contingency model. Your compensation isn’t tied to hours tracked or business originated.
Real Support — Law clerks, a litigation coordinator, and firm systems built so you can focus on lawyering.
401(k) and Defined Benefits — Employer contribution on total annual compensation.

They shape how we make decisions, how we handle conflict, and who we hire. If those words mean something to you in practice, not just on paper, you’ll fit here.
If you want to do excellent plaintiff-side work with real infrastructure behind you, and you’re done making trade-offs you shouldn’t have to make, we want to hear from you.
