About The Firm Our client, a boutique plaintiff-side litigation firm with offices in Torrance and Orange County, is seeking an Employment Litigation Attorney to join its growing employment practice. The firm offers a small, collaborative team environment with direct mentorship and meaningful responsibility throughout the litigation process. The Opportunity We are seeking an attorney with 1–4 years of employment litigation experience who wants to advocate for employees and develop their litigation skills.

The remaining matters are in pre-litigation, providing experience across different stages of a case. Matters include discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage-and-hour violations, whistleblower claims, and leave and disability disputes under California law. This position is remote for attorneys based in Los Angeles or Orange County. Candidates must be available for in-person meetings, court appearances, depositions, and other case-related obligations as needed. This is not a statewide remote opportunity.
