- Years of Experience: 1-4 years
- Academic Requirements: Outstanding achievement, including law school record, references, and proven litigation and writing skills.
- Admission to CA Bar: Required
- Type of Experience: Familiarity and experience with employment litigation (including discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination suits) and wage and hour litigation are essential. Class action experience would be very helpful but is not required. Familiarity with California civil procedure is also helpful.
- Familiarity and experience with employment counseling (including the construction of employment policies and manuals and wage and hour counseling) are very helpful, but only limited experience in these areas is required.
- Type of Work: Depends on experience and demonstrated ability; we tend to get some of the best litigation in this area across the country.

We frequently defend class, collective, and representative actions of all kinds; claims of discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination; retaliation and whistleblower claims; and disputes regarding pay equity and executive compensation; we also conduct sensitive internal investigations involving high risk allegations. Clients often turn to us when employment-related claims implicate fundamental aspects of their business model and require sophisticated advice and counseling in addition to top-notch litigation handling.
- Benefits of Coming to Munger, Tolles & Olson: Early responsibility and advancement; great and committed clients; great lawyers to work with; an open and progressive firm environment; terrific profit per partner and associate compensation history.
