About The Role

We are looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented HR Administrator to support the firm's growing team. This role sits at the intersection of human resources and law firm operations — you'll manage the full employment lifecycle from recruiting and onboarding through compliance, documentation, and offboarding.

What You'll Do

• Manage end-to-end hiring workflows: job postings, applicant screening, interview coordination, and offer letter drafting
• Conduct first-round phone screens and prepare candidate evaluation summaries for attorney review
• Draft, maintain, and update HR documents including offer letters, duty statements, PIPs, personnel action notices, and employment agreements
• Oversee onboarding and offboarding processes for staff across all roles (attorneys, paralegals, support staff, contractors)
• Ensure compliance with California employment law, including wage and hour regulations, classification requirements, and mandatory disclosures
• Maintain personnel records and HR documentation in the firm's document management systems
• Administer and track PTO, benefits enrollment, and employee status changes
• Support firm leadership on sensitive HR matters including disciplinary actions and terminations
• Contribute to the ongoing development and refinement of firm HR policies and the employee handbook
