Our firm is known statewide for its aggressive advocacy on behalf of employees in cases involving discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and other workplace violations. Led by acclaimed trial attorney Carney Shegerian, we offer attorneys the opportunity to engage deeply in meaningful, high-stakes litigation—early and often. This is not a document-review role. This is your chance to litigate.

  • One-on-one mentorship from experienced trial lawyers
  • Supportive, mission-driven in-office culture
  • Competitive compensation + full benefits

  • Up to 5.50% commission
  • Full medical and dental insurance
  • FSA annual contribution of $500
  • 401(k) with employer contribution (10% of annual salary contribution by firm)
  • Bar dues paid by the firm
  • MCLE allowance

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage your own docket of employment law cases from inception through trial
  • Conduct legal research and draft pleadings, discovery, motions, and trial briefs
  • Take and defend depositions
  • Appear in court to argue motions and advocate for clients
  • Engage with clients and help shape case strategy
  • Participate in mediations, arbitrations, and negotiations
  • Assist in trial preparation and serve as second chair where applicable

Qualifications:

  • Active member in good standing with the California State Bar
  • 1–5 years of litigation experience (employment law preferred)
  • Strong research, writing, and oral advocacy skills
  • Ability to manage cases independently and meet deadlines
  • Desire to grow as a trial lawyer and litigator
  • Trial or trial-prep experience is a plus

About Us:

Since 1999, Shegerian & Associates has been committed to delivering justice for employees across California. We don’t just litigate—we try cases. If you want to build a long-term career in employment litigation, gain real courtroom experience, and be part of a firm that trains the next generation of elite trial attorneys, we encourage you to apply.
