Employment Associate - Junior to Mid-Level - Los Angeles or San Francisco

Davis Wright Tremaine LLP seeks to hire an employment litigation associate with a minimum of two years' experience to join its vibrant California and national employment law practice. While not a requirement, the ideal candidate will have employment litigation experience and a broad understanding of federal and California employment laws and regulations. We are seeking candidates from large and established defense firms in California or a smaller firm handling sophisticated employment or litigation defense matters. The associates practice will focus on employment litigation, including single plaintiff and class action matters, and may also include providing advice and counseling to clients concerning employment law issues, drafting policies, handbooks, employment agreements, wage-hour, leave of absences, investigations, and other similar matters.

The candidate must be a member or pending member of the California State Bar. This is a great opportunity for a confident, self-motivated associate with a desire to build a comprehensive employment practice in a collegial environment. This position can be based out of the Los Angeles or San Francisco office.

We are relentlessly committed to client service and look for candidates who share that commitment. At DWT, client service means having empathy for each clients and each lawyers work and personal pressures, business objectives, and legal needs; anticipating their needs; and having the capabilities and commitment to deliver what matters most to them.

To apply, please upload a cover letter addressed to Deverie Hart, Senior Manager, Lawyer Talent Acquisition; resume, a copy of your law school transcript, and a brief writing sample (10 pages max). We are accepting submissions from third-party recruiters.
