LitigationParalegal - Labor & Employment Defense
High-Stakes Cases • Sophisticated Employers • Real Responsibility
Direct Counsel is partnering with a top California law firm looking to add an experienced LitigationParalegal to its Labor & Employment Group.

This team represents corporations, public entities, nonprofits, and public-private partnerships in some of the most nuanced and high-exposure employment matters in California-from class actions and PAGA claims to workplace investigations and labor negotiations.
Why This Role Stands Out
You won't just support litigation-you'll drive it. From first filing through trial and appeal, you'll be a core member of the litigation team, trusted with responsibility, strategy, and execution.

Managing cases from inception through resolution (trial or settlement)
Drafting, reviewing, and revising litigation documents and filings
Maintaining case files, discovery logs, and document databases
Managing large-scale discovery and document productions
Preparing deposition and hearing materials, including exhibits and witness outlines
Cite-checking briefs for legal and factual accuracy
Coordinating document review and partnering with Litigation Support on eDiscovery platforms (iPro or similar)
Supporting trial preparation and post-trial proceedings
Working closely with attorneys across all stages of state and federal litigation
The Work You'll Support
This practice handles sophisticated labor & employment defense matters, including:
Class actions & PAGA
Employee classification disputes
Discipline, terminations & leaves of absence
Disability accommodations & employee privacy
Whistleblower and retaliation claims
Workplace culture, social media & free speech issues
Labor relations and collective bargaining matters
What You Bring
Ability to work and bill as a paralegal under CA Business & Professions Code § 6450
Paralegal Certificate from an ABA-approved program
5+ years of litigation experience (Bachelor's degree preferred)
Strong command of Microsoft Office / Office 365
Hands-on experience with iPro or comparable eDiscovery tools and Adobe Acrobat Pro
Legal research experience using Westlaw (preferred) or Lexis
Deep understanding of court procedures, rules, and local practice
Ability to work independently while collaborating seamlessly with attorneys and litigation support
Excellent communication skills and an unwavering commitment to confidentiality and ethics
Expectations
1,575 billable hours annually
Willingness to work extended hours when cases demand it
Occasional travel for hearings, depositions, or trial support
Consistent, reliable on-site attendance and a strong client-service mindset
Compensation
$48.07 - $54.32 per hour (estimated range)
Final pay based on experience, location, education, certifications, and internal equity
Equal Employment Opportunity
The firm is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with the California Fair Chance Act. Qualified applicants with criminal histories will be considered in accordance with applicable law.
