Job Description:

Let’s be direct: Mission Recruiting is representing a premier California-based firm known for defending law enforcement, firefighters, and public employees in complex, high-stakes litigation. In this practice area, cases aren't just "settled" to avoid costs—they are litigated to be won. If you are a gifted writer who wants your briefs to shape the law for first responders, this is your desk. The Impact of Your Pen Meaningful Advocacy: You will represent the unions and individuals who keep our communities safe, handling complex employment matters and civil rights defense. Pure Litigation: Because these matters often involve government entities, you are more likely to see cases through to a decision rather than a quiet settlement. Early Ownership: Whether you are a first-year or a tenured senior, you’ll be trusted with drafting appellate filings, arguing motions, and participating in bench trials and administrative hearings. The Reality of the Role The Writing: A strong writing sample is a non-negotiable requirement. We are looking for independent analytical depth and "Law and Motion" expertise. The Schedule: This is a hybrid-friendly role based in Encino. Once trust is established and your initial training is complete, the firm offers the flexibility modern attorneys need. The Commitment: 1,800 annual billable hours. The Compensation: Scaled by experience ($115k–$125k for entry-level; $150k for mid-level; up to $200k for seniors) plus a tiered bonus structure. Why Join This Firm? The firm fosters a mission-driven culture and provides some of the most robust benefits in the 2026 market: Health: 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage for both you and your dependents. Retirement: 401(k) with up to a 6% safe harbor match (eligible after 6 months). Flexibility: Unlimited PTO (performance-contingent), wellness programs, and full CLE support. Salary Range: $115,000 - $200,000 Reference: 147744
