Employment Attorney

You’ve fought in California courts. You know what’s at stake. You’ve seen business owners blindsided by employment claims. You’ve seen how the wrong advice—or no advice—can cost them everything they’ve built. You also know the power of having the right attorney by your side.

At JDS Law, we are the attorneys for hard-working California employers. We don’t just react—we protect, prevent, and position clients for success. And we’re looking for another fighter to join our team.

$125,000 - $175,000 yearly

The Role:

We’re hiring an Employment Attorney with 2+ years of experience litigating California employment law (plaintiff or defense side). You’ll handle everything from strategic counsel to courtroom advocacy—backed by a dedicated team so you can focus on results, not admin.

Our expectation: High-quality work, not endless hours. Full-time attorneys meet a target of 1,450 billed and collected hours annually with a reasonable caseload of meaningful work. Origination is not required, but is rewarded.

Who You Are:

• An active CA Bar member in good standing
• Skilled in state employment law and litigation (federal experience a plus)
• Ethical, driven, and ready to make a measurable impact

What We Offer:

• Part-time option available for the right candidate
• Paid vacation, medical/dental, 401(k) match
• Flexible scheduling, hybrid potential (not fully remote)
• A team that values your judgment, your time, and your growth

If you’re ready to use your courtroom skills to protect California small businesses—and want to grow with a firm that’s growing with intention—we want to hear from you. Come join a firm that lets you practice at a high level without living at the office. Send resumé + writing sample to info@jdslawyers.com with “Elevate” in the subject line.
