Job Description
PRACTICE AREAS: Employment, Labor & EmploymentJOB TYPE: Law FirmCompany: Seyfarth Shaw LLPPosition: CA Labor and Employment Counsel – Remote/Reduced Schedule (SMS)Location: San Francisco, Sacramento, Downtown – LA, Century City, CA
We are seeking a highly skilled Labor and Employment Counsel in California to join our specialized national portfolio/large client team. This Counsel role is a substantially reduced-schedule and salaried position designed to be flexible on location, and is fully remote with access to any of our local offices as needed.
This is an exceptional and rare opportunity for experienced lawyers who do not seek to be in a partner-track position due to the additional nonbillable commitments of those roles, but who want to continue to do sophisticated legal work with direct client involvement, all while working with the best employment team in the country.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead and manage single-plaintiff cases and administrative charges.
Handle matters in federal and state courts, and before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and perhaps the Department of Labor, as well as other federal, state, and local administrative agencies.
Directly run all aspects of single-plaintiff litigation, including drafting responsive pleadings, handling all aspects of the discovery process, drafting motions and briefs, and attending arbitration.
The ideal candidate will have 7+ years of increasingly responsible employment law experience, preferably on the defense side, and strong analytical skills, verbal and written communication skills, and admission to the California state bar.
What We Provide:
We offer competitive salary and benefits at all levels, including continued hands-on learning by working side-by-side with our partners and senior counsel. We are also proud to be an influential leader in inclusion and diversity, recognized by the Human Rights Campaign, the Minority Corporate Counsel Association, and Seramount (formerly Working Mother magazine). We are Mansfield 5.0 certified, reflecting our commitment to advancing candidates from underrepresented groups.
