The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Handle a caseload of employer-side workplace disputes from intake through resolution, partnering closely with senior attorneys and clients.

What you'll do
- Manage active workplace defense cases day to day, from individual claims to representative and class actions.
- Drive the discovery process, including drafting and arguing motions and handling depositions for both sides of the table.
- Build courtroom and arbitration skills, with chances to support at hearings and trials and step into larger roles over time.
- Counsel employers on complex questions of workplace law.
- Collaborate with partners and clients to shape case strategy from start to finish.
What we're looking for
- Roughly 3 to 7 years of litigation experience after bar admission, focused on California workplace law.
- Defense-side experience only; candidates with plaintiff-side employment experience are not a fit.
- Active membership in the California Bar.
- Practical experience with discovery, motion practice, depositions and case management.
- Experience with wage-and-hour representative actions and class action litigation.
- Strong legal research and writing skills.
- A collaborative, team-oriented approach and a clear commitment to building a career in this practice area.
Bonus points
- Work experience outside of law before attending law school.
- Judicial clerkship experience.
