Senior Plaintiff Employment Attorney – Wrongful Termination Focus

About the Opportunity

An established plaintiff-side litigation firm in Century City is launching a brand-new Employment Law practice and hiring a senior attorney to build and lead it.

This is not a backfill.

This is not a plug-in associate seat.

This is a true department-building opportunity.

You will have ownership, autonomy, and long-term upside inside a stable, well-funded platform.

Primary Focus

• Strong wrongful termination experience is required
• Wage and hour matters
• Related employment claims
• Class action or PAGA experience is a plus, not mandatory

What You Will Do

• Lead plaintiff-side employment matters from intake through resolution
• Handle both pre-litigation and litigation strategy
• Develop and refine templates, workflows, and case playbooks
• Design intake processes and litigation systems
• Participate in mediations, negotiations, and strategic planning
• Collaborate with leadership on hiring and building the team

This role is for someone who does not need heavy supervision and can operate independently.

What You Need

• Active California Bar in good standing
• 5+ years of plaintiff-side employment litigation experience
• Demonstrable wrongful termination experience
• Experience handling both pre-litigation and litigation matters
• Ability to manage a caseload independently
• Builder mindset with strong professional maturity
• Comfortable working onsite during the initial build phase

Work Model

• Onsite five days per week in Century City during early build-out
• High collaboration in the first several months
• Longer-term flexibility possible once the department is stable

Compensation

• Base salary range: $200,000 – $350,000 depending on experience
• Bonus structure discussed directly with firm leadership
• Compensation calibrated based on experience and leadership capability
• Full benefits package discussed during interview process

Why This Role Is Different

• Build a department from scratch
• Own the practice without risking personal capital
• Stable, established litigation platform
• Long-term autonomy for the right builder
