Wage & Hour Attorney

San Diego, CA
onsite
Permanent / Full Time
125000 - 200000 USD / Yearly
An AmLaw firm with almost 200 attorneys - based here in San Diego - is seeking an employment law litigator. This attorney should have 3+ years of experience in employment law. Exposure to areas such as unlawful terminations and LOA accommodations is helpful, but wage & hour experience is a must-have for this role.

This firm operates on a hybrid schedule (3 days in the office) out of downtown San Diego or Del Mar Heights (parking provided in the building) and offers generous benefits and PTO. The billable hour requirement is 1850; hitting that automatically qualifies attorneys for bonuses.

Yet we “know everybody’s name on the email list!”</li><li>For example, the firm's attorney support center helps with overflow for expense reports, timesheets, etc. </li><li>Accolades upon accolades - for the attorney you'd work under, and the firm overall. </li></ul>
