Labor & Employment (Litigation)
Office: San Francisco
Rogers Joseph O’Donnell, P.C., is seeking a fellow with at least 3 years of litigation experience to work in the firm’s San Francisco office to primarily support its Labor & Employment Group. RJO represents employers, big and small, in single and multiple plaintiff litigation, class and collective actions, and PAGA actions; we also provide advice and counseling to our clients to ensure employment law compliance and mitigate risk. The depth and breadth of our employment law experience allows us to offer the same quality of representation usually expected from much larger law firms, while our relatively small size enables us to maintain highly competitive rates and a more direct and personal relationship with our clients.
RJO was founded in 1981 by a group of “big firm” attorneys who believed — and continue to believe — that smaller is smarter. Free from the bureaucratic and economic burdens of a supersize law firm, we can listen to our clients more attentively, think more creatively, and act more nimbly. We represent Fortune 500 companies, private corporations and partnerships, start-ups, non-profits, and individuals throughout California and across the United States.
Prior experience in employment law or in the field of human resources is required. Candidates with experience in litigating wage and hour matters, traditional labor law, drafting employment policies, and/or providing advice and counseling to employers are highly desired. Candidates should have solid academic credentials, excellent writing skills, strong analytical abilities with a consistent attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. Candidates must be admitted to practice in California and should be self-starters with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Excellent lawyering, smart business-focused advice, and our collaborative team of staff and attorneys are what have kept the firm successful and healthy, as well as a true pleasure to work for. Associates are given client-facing opportunities early and often. This is the type of firm where becoming a shareholder is a realistic goal for those who show a commitment and dedication to their own professional development.
The firm has always taken a flexible approach on remote work for attorneys but also values the collegiality that is built by face-to-face interactions, as such, attorneys are generally expected to be present at least three days a week in the office.
