One of Robert Half's longstanding clients - a boutique firm with offices in Glendale and Beverly Hills - is seeking an employment law attorney. They can train on employment law! This position is hybrid; the employment law attorney should be able to commute to Glendale at least once a week (ideally more, or another day in Beverly Hills). This vibrant union-side practice focuses on representing multi-employer employee benefit trust funds, public and private sector unions, and union-affiliated PACs. This firm is looking for an employment lawyer with at least 3 years of litigation experience. This role will involve legal research and writing, trial prep, and drafting motions (including those for summary judgements). Exposure to employee benefits / ERISA is extremely helpful. Pay is contingent upon labor & employment law experience; please do not reply without any. This labor & employment firm represents union, often for construction and trade workers. The team is comprised of a likeable group of attorneys and long-standing support staff (who are all union employees themselves and have great benefits!). Attorneys typically stay here for years! Some attorneys have been with firm for 15-20 years. The support staff and partners are great. We have made successful placements at this firm before, and candidates rave about mentorship.
