Employment Litigation Associate

The employment litigation team has a uniquely broad practice. We are not a cookie-cutter employment department; it's an exciting, varied, and collaborative practice working with cutting-edge clients ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies in technology, life science, green energy, and cleantech. On any given day, you might be conducting an internal investigation, advising on a spin-out merger, or preparing a brief. Mid-level associates in our practice work on significant litigation matters spanning the employment relationship, including trade secret misappropriation claims, covenants not to compete and other contract issues, and high-profile sexual harassment and discrimination matters.

Our Employment & Trade Secret group is excited to welcome qualified applicants with at least 2-5 years of experience in management-side employment law litigation and counseling. The ideal candidate will have considerable experience litigating employment law cases and providing day-to-day advice to fast-growing technology companies on all aspects of employment law (e.g., terminations, leaves of absence, reviewing and drafting policies), employment mobility issues (trade secrets, non-competes, and employee non-solicitation), and advising clients on employment-related issues in mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. We prefer candidates who are members of the CA Bar who will be resident in our Palo Alto, San Francisco or Century City office. In addition, the candidate must have excellent academic credentials and oral, written, and interpersonal skills.
