Job description

NEW IN – Mid-Level Employment Litigation Attorney | 6–10 Years | Up to $220K DOE | Wage & Hour + Class Actions | National Plaintiff-Side Trial Practice | Remote

I'm currently working with a nationally recognized plaintiff-side litigation firm that is looking to add a Mid-Level Employment Litigation Attorney to its team. This is an opportunity to work on complex wage-and-hour and class action litigation within a firm built around trial work , with exposure to matters being litigated across the country.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Trial-Focused Plaintiff Practice – Join a firm where complex litigation and trial work sit at the centre of the practice , rather than being a secondary capability.

National Class Action Exposure – Work on employment matters that can span multiple jurisdictions and involve large-scale wage-and-hour disputes .

High-Impact Employment Work – Handle substantive plaintiff-side matters involving misclassification, wage-and-hour violations, PAGA, FLSA and other complex employment claims .

Work Alongside Experienced Trial Counsel – Gain exposure to sophisticated litigation strategy while supporting senior attorneys on significant matters.

Growing National Platform – Join an expanding plaintiff-side practice with a broader national footprint and opportunities to work beyond a single local market.

Remote Working Model – Work fully remotely while remaining part of a nationally active litigation team.

The Role

Draft and refine substantive motions, briefs and other litigation documents.

Manage written discovery and take and defend depositions.

Handle wage-and-hour disputes involving misclassification, meal and rest break violations, expense reimbursement and off-the-clock work.

Contribute to litigation strategy and maintain high-quality written work product.

Take increasing ownership of matters as your experience develops.
