Labor & Employment Associates

Labor & Employment Associates

Our clients are looking for top labor and employment associates with 2 to 7+ years of experience with management-side practices that focus on at least one of these areas: employment litigation and counseling, wage and hour class actions, transactional labor and employment, trade secrets, single plaintiff, wrongful termination, harassment, or traditional labor experience.

Associates who want to relocate to California will be considered as long as they are with prestigious firms currently, even if they need to take the California bar.
