SENIOR ASSOCIATE ATTORNEYClass Action Wage & Hour | 3–5+ Years Experience | Los Angeles, CALA Attorneys — Ready to Supercharge the Next Stage of Your Career?
Elements Law Recruiting is partnering with one of Los Angeles’ top plaintiff-side Class Action Wage & Hour firms to identify an experienced Senior Associate ready for a major career move.
This is a 2026 Top Workplace that has created a proven blueprint for attorney success — sophisticated Class Action matters, top-of-the-line support, experienced leadership, strong mentorship, and an infrastructure designed to allow attorneys to focus on what they do best: litigate, strategize, develop, and win.
We’re looking for attorneys with approximately 3–5+ years of experience who have developed a strong foundation in Employment Law, Class Action Wage & Hour, general Class Action litigation, or sophisticated complex litigation.
Whether you’re currently on the plaintiff or defense side, if you’ve built strong litigation skills and are ready for greater responsibility, stronger resources, better support, and substantial long-term growth, we want to talk.
You’ve already built the foundation. Now come level up with a team built to take you further.
THE PRACTICE
Our client is one of Southern California’s leading plaintiff-side firms focused specifically on Class Action Wage & Hour matters.
The team handles sophisticated representative and class matters involving California wage and hour laws and has developed an impressive infrastructure around its attorneys.
Experienced associates have access to seasoned leadership, dedicated paralegal and administrative support, established litigation systems, and specialized teams designed to help attorneys operate efficiently at a high level.
This isn’t an environment where success simply means getting buried under a larger caseload.
The goal is to give talented attorneys the resources, support, exposure, and responsibility necessary to become exceptional Class Action litigators.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a Senior Associate, you’ll take an active role in managing and advancing sophisticated Class Action Wage & Hour matters while working closely with senior attorneys and firm leadership.
Responsibilities may include:
- Managing Class Action Wage & Hour matters through significant stages of litigation
- Developing litigation and overall case strategy
- Drafting and arguing substantive motions
- Managing written discovery and complex discovery disputes
- Taking and defending depositions
- Conducting sophisticated legal research and analysis
- Handling class certification issues and briefing
- Reviewing payroll, timekeeping, and employment records
- Preparing matters for mediation and settlement
- Participating in settlement negotiations
- Evaluating damages, exposure, and case value
- Communicating directly with clients
- Working closely with paralegals, legal assistants, and support professionals
- Mentoring and helping develop junior associates
- Taking increasing ownership and responsibility over sophisticated matters
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FORIdeal Background
- Approximately 3–5+ years of litigation experience
- Active California Bar membership
- Class Action Wage & Hour experience highly preferred
- Broader employment litigation experience strongly considered
- General Class Action or sophisticated complex litigation experience welcomed
- Plaintiff and defense-side attorneys encouraged to apply
- Strong motion practice and legal writing abilities
- Experience handling discovery and depositions
- Excellent analytical and case-management skills
- Strong written and verbal communication
- Ability to independently manage significant litigation responsibilities
- Collaborative mentality
- Leadership potential and willingness to mentor developing attorneys
You do not necessarily need to come directly from a plaintiff-side Wage & Hour firm.
Attorneys coming from employment defense, general Class Actions, consumer Class Actions, or other sophisticated litigation environments may have highly transferable experience.
For attorneys making the transition, you’ll be joining a team with the training, experience, and infrastructure to help you translate those skills into a highly specialized Class Action Wage & Hour practice.
WHY THIS TEAM?
At the Senior Associate level, where you practice can become just as important as what you practice.
You’ve already spent years developing your litigation skills. The next step should put better resources around you and give you the opportunity to substantially expand your capabilities.
This opportunity provides:
- Sophisticated Class Action Wage & Hour matters
- Experienced attorneys and leadership
- Dedicated legal and administrative support
- Established litigation systems and workflows
- Meaningful case ownership and responsibility
- Opportunities to mentor and lead
- Continued professional development
- A collaborative environment recognized as a 2026 Top Workplace
- Significant long-term career and compensation growth potential
