Senior Employment Law Attorney

Join an established Bay Area law firm's employment practice as a senior attorney defending employers in complex California employment matters. You will manage cases independently, advise clients, and help grow the practice while mentoring junior attorneys.

• Manage matters from inception through resolution, including discovery, motions, and appearances before the EEOC, CRD, and DLSE.

• Advise clients on workforce management, HR policies, and compliance with California employment laws.

• Develop client relationships and business, while serving existing clients and contributing to practice growth.

• Lead case strategy and supervise and mentor junior associates.

• Handle employment-related trade secret and unfair competition matters.
