Davis Wright Tremaine LLP seeks to hire an employment litigation associate with a minimum of one year of experience to join its vibrant California and national employment law practice. The ideal candidate will have employment litigation experience, particularly class actions and PAGA matters, and a broad understanding of federal and California employment laws and regulations.
