  • Personal injury attorneys considered only if they have substantive employment law experience
  • Plaintiff-side or defense-side employment background welcome
  • Ability to manage cases independently and work collaboratively
  • Strong writing, advocacy, and negotiation skills
  • Willingness to work onsite in Glendale, CA, five days per week
