About the role

This is your chance to join a successful specialized law firm during a period of steady growth! As the firm’s newest Labor & Employment Attorney, you’ll represent and advise clients on a variety of labor and employment matters.

This will include giving practical day-to-day guidance, drafting and reviewing handbooks, responding to BOLI complaints, conducting research, and addressing client inquiries and concerns. You’ll lean on your knowledge of wage and hour compliance, leave policies, workplace accommodations, and discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
