Why Pivot to Us?
- Lucrative Earnings: Plaintiff-side settlements often surpass Big Law billable hours, unlocking significant financial rewards.
- Remote Freedom: Work from anywhere in California with minimal office visits (senior team members attend every 4-6 weeks).
- Fast-Track Growth: Become a Team Lead in months, with a proven path to rapid promotions.
- Recession-Proof Practice: Wage and hour litigation thrives in downturns, ensuring steady work in a field dominating California’s courts.
- Leverage Your Expertise: Your Big Law training in discovery, depositions, and procedure seamlessly fuels our high-stakes class action practice.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage a caseload of ~40 wage and hour class action cases after initial training.
- Apply your defense-honed skills to draft written discovery, conduct depositions, and represent clients in court hearings.
- Engage confidently with clients and opposing counsel, leveraging your professional presence.
- 2-7 years of litigation experience, with at least 1 year in employment law (defense experience at firms like Ogletree, or Jackson Lewis strongly preferred; FEHA or PAGA experience a plus).
- Eagerness to shift to wage and hour class actions/PAGA litigation as a career focus (no prior wage and hour experience needed; full training provided).
- Ability to work remotely across California with occasional travel (1-2 times/month) for court hearings, depositions, or client meetings.
- First week in-person in Los Angeles for onboarding and systems training; fully remote thereafter.
- Procedural rigor, professional demeanor, and drive to excel in a high-demand practice.
