Full job description
Remote Employment Attorney

Career Consulting Partners has partnered with a boutique employment law firm in Pasadena that rejects the typical “sink or swim” culture. We are seeking a Litigation Attorney with 3–7 years of employment law experience to join our team. This role offers flexibility from the start: attorneys are generally in the office just 1–2 days per week, with most of the team working remotely. This position can transition into a fully remote role once acclimated. Senior Attorneys with more than 6 years of experience can be considered for a fully remote Position from the start.


We are not a high-volume firm. Instead, we are selective with the cases we take on (we take this very seriously), ensuring we provide our clients with realistic expectations and deliver meaningful results. Whether you thrive working independently or prefer a collaborative approach, you’ll find a home here—as long as you remain committed to weekly team meetings and remote huddles that keep everyone connected and aligned.

Manage a caseload of approximately 30 active matters
Handle primarily class action and PAGA cases, along with a select number of individual employment cases.
Oversee litigation from intake through trial or settlement, including pleadings, discovery, depositions, motion practice, and court appearances.

Work directly with clients—conducting interviews, providing updates, and building strong relationships—while supported by a dedicated legal assistant and paralegal resources.
Strategize and negotiate with opposing counsel, mediators, and judges to secure favorable outcomes for clients.
Depending on experience, either independently manage cases or work closely with senior attorneys while receiving mentorship and training.
Contribute to a culture of collaboration, integrity, and client-centered advocacy.

REQUIREMENTS:
Licensed to practice law in California and in good standing with the State Bar.
3–7 years of experience handling employment law matters, with demonstrated litigation experience.
Familiarity with class actions, PAGA, and wage & hour cases (trial experience a plus but not required).
Strong legal writing and oral advocacy skills, including drafting motions, briefs, and discovery responses.
Ability to manage multiple cases simultaneously while staying organized and detail-oriented.
Comfortable working independently or collaboratively, with a commitment to regular team meetings and case strategy sessions.
Excellent client communication skills, with the ability to build trust and explain complex legal issues clearly.
A proactive, solutions-driven mindset with a passion for advocating on behalf of employees.
