Job Description

This associate attorney should have 3+ years of experience. This role focuses heavily on federal court litigation involving employee benefits and multi-employer trust funds (pension plans). The caseload is roughly 20 matters, focusing on discovery, data analysis, motion practice, and active negotiation.

Job Responsibility

  • Propound and respond to civil discovery in federal court
  • Review spreadsheets and data sets tracking financial/payment contributions to input into internal systems
  • Draft substantive motions and legal memoranda
  • Maintain frequent, close communication with clients and trust fund administrators
  • Negotiate settlements with opposing counsel (the vast majority of cases resolve post-discovery or via mediation
  • non-jury/bench trials are rare)

Requirements

  • 3+ years of civil litigation experience in CA + a CA bar license
  • Strong proficiency with discovery
  • Comfort working with spreadsheets, auditing data, and conducting high-volume phone communication
  • A collaborative, team-oriented mindset (this is an interactive, communicative environment, not a siloed back-office role)

Nice to have

  • A background in labor & employment, wage-and-hour, or ERISA litigation
  • Experience practicing in federal district courts

What we offer

  • 100% firm-covered medical premiums for the employee and their family
  • Funded 401(k) plus a profit-sharing plan with a 11% firm contribution, regardless of employee contribution match
  • Fully covered parking or public transportation reimbursement
  • 11 paid holidays per year, plus a generous vacation and sick leave package
  • Exceptionally family-friendly firm culture
