Attorney | Employment Law & Motion | 147378

Los Angeles, CA
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    This is not a traditional law firm environment, nor is this a typical Attorney role. The team thrives on strategic thinking, precision, and innovative legal solutions within a collaborative, fast-paced employment law practice. The firm is seeking an experienced Law and Motion Attorney who excels at legal research and persuasive writing-someone who is energized by the challenge of crafting winning arguments and tackling complex legal issues behind the scenes.

     

    Role Overview

    This position is ideal for a legal tactician who prefers the intellectual rigor of motion practice over managing a docket or making frequent court appearances. You will not be responsible for your caseload. Instead, you will be the go-to resource for drafting high-stakes motions-including motions for summary judgment, demurrers, motions to compel, and sanctions-and for developing creative legal strategies when unexpected challenges arise. Your expertise will directly support senior litigators and influence case outcomes at critical junctures.

     

    Key Responsibilities

    • Draft and oppose substantive motions such as MSJs, demurrers, and motions to compel
    • Identify unique legal angles, defenses, and procedural strategies
    • Advise and collaborate with partners on litigation strategy
    • Serve as a resource for complex statutory interpretation and case law analysis
    • Mentor junior attorneys in legal writing and issue-spotting
    • Stay current on legal trends, judicial tendencies, and developments in employment law

     

    Ideal Candidate

    • Deep knowledge of the Code of Civil Procedure
    • Minimum 4 years of litigation experience, preferably in employment or civil litigation
    • Proven track record in motion practice and legal research/writing
    • Ability to craft tailored, compelling arguments beyond boilerplate
    • Collaborative, unflappable, and self-motivated

     

    Why Join

    This is an opportunity to leverage your legal writing and analytical skills in a setting that values sharp thinking, creativity, and craftsmanship. The position is based in-office in Los Angeles, with a salary range of $ 130,000 - $190,000
