Job Description

Associate Attorney

South Bay | Hybrid | Labor & Employment

A growing South Bay firm is building something intentional — a team of sharp, motivated attorneys who care about doing excellent work and building meaningful careers.

If you are driven, curious, and naturally resourceful — someone who doesn’t wait to be told what to do but instead figures things out — this is the kind of environment where you will thrive.

This is not just another associate role. This is an opportunity to grow alongside a stable, respected team that has worked together for over a decade and believes professional excellence should coexist with real work-life balance.

Why This Firm Stands Out

  • 1600 billable hour requirement (yes, 1600 — not 1900+)

  • Hourly bonus paid for every hour billed over 1600 — even if the time is written off or not collected

  • Additional discretionary bonuses

  • Low turnover — most of the team has been together 10+ years

  • Leadership that genuinely values sustainability and balance

  • Hybrid flexibility (initial onboarding on-site, then 3 days on-site / 2 remote)

This is a firm that rewards effort, trusts its people, and invests in long-term growth.


About the Role

You will work directly with partners on:

  • Labor & employment litigation

  • Advice and counseling matters

  • Strategic case development and client support

This is hands-on, substantive work with mentorship built in.


What They’re Looking For

  • JD from an ABA-accredited law school

  • Active California bar admission (in good standing)

  • Intrinsically motivated and growth-oriented

  • Resourceful, driven, and eager to take ownership

  • Someone who wants to build a career — not just collect a paycheck


Compensation & Benefits

Compensation is based on experience and education, with a strong bonus structure in place.

Benefits include:

  • Health coverage

  • Monthly marketing allowance

  • MCLE coverage

  • Bar dues

  • Parking

  • Origination percentage

  • Hybrid work flexibility


If you're ready to join a firm where performance is rewarded, growth is real, and balance isn’t just lip service — let’s talk.
