Junior Employment Litigation Associate Attorney
Employer-Side Employment Litigation | California Bar Required
Innovative Legal Services Firm | California
A growing and innovative legal services firm is seeking a Junior Employment Litigation Associate Attorney with 1–4 years of post-JD experience to join its expanding employment litigation practice.
This is an excellent opportunity for a reliable, self-starting attorney who is ready to take ownership of substantive litigation work from day one. The ideal candidate will have experience handling employer-side employment matters and be comfortable managing an active caseload with a high level of autonomy.
The firm is currently expanding its workload, including a significant new wage and hour class action, and is looking for an attorney who can step in, contribute immediately, and help drive cases forward.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Handle employer-side employment litigation matters, including discrimination, wage and hour, and PAGA actions
- Manage pleadings, written discovery, depositions, and motion practice
- Work on matters in California state and federal courts
- Take ownership of substantive litigation tasks with limited hand-holding
- Assist with a major wage and hour class action matter
- Prepare for mediations, arbitrations, hearings, and case strategy meetings
- Draft strong legal arguments, motions, discovery responses, and client-facing updates
What We’re Looking For
- 1–4 years of post-JD employment litigation experience
- Active California Bar admission in good standing
- Employer-side employment litigation experience required
- Experience with wage and hour, discrimination, PAGA, or class action matters strongly preferred
- Strong legal writing, research, and advocacy skills
- Ability to work independently and manage deadlines
- A reliable, proactive, “set it and forget it” attorney who can own their work
- Writing sample required
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This role is ideal for an attorney who wants real litigation responsibility early in their career, not just background support work. You will have the opportunity to manage meaningful parts of cases, work closely with experienced litigators, and play a key role in a growing employment litigation practice.
Right to Represent Notice
By applying to this role, you acknowledge and authorize Lovefreedom Solution to represent you for this specific opportunity. Candidate information will only be submitted to the client after your consent is received and your qualifications are reviewed for alignment with the role.
Interested candidates should apply with a resume and writing sample for consideration.
The base pay range for this role is $110,000 – $170,000 per year.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
