Qualifications

  • 2+ years of California employment litigation experience (recent, hands-on)
  • Strong drafting skills (pleadings, discovery, motions support) — you can produce attorney-level work product

  • Highly organized, responsive, and able to run independently with minimal training
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced remote environment using modern legal tech
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office; Clio experience strongly preferred
  • Spanish fluency is a plus
