Law & Motion Attorney

Shegerian & Associates • San Francisco, CA

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

This isn't a research role — it's something rarer: It's the attorney who shapes the law itself. As our Law & Motion Attorney, you'll work directly with firm shareholders to craft the appellate filings and dispositive motions that defend our record-setting verdicts and build California employment case law. Your words will be cited by courts. Your arguments will protect wins that changed workers' lives. This is the role built for attorneys who want to shape the law, not just argue it. At most firms, law and motion work is treated as a research role. At Shegerian & Associates, it's a cornerstone of how we win — and how we protect those wins on appeal. From day one, you'll work directly with firm shareholders on the briefs, motions, and appellate filings that defend our record-setting verdicts and advance California employment law. We represent workers who've been wrongfully terminated, harassed, and discriminated against. The stakes are personal. The advocacy is aggressive. And the legal writing we produce doesn't just support cases, it creates precedent.

Requirements

• A California-barred attorney with 4+ years of focused legal research and writing experience in employment law.
• Are a genuinely exceptional writer who doesn't just state the law — you make the argument feel inevitable
• Bring creativity and craft to every brief finding the angle others miss, structuring arguments that stick
• Have a track record with dispositive motions, appellate filings, or high-impact briefs
• Can work independently while staying tightly connected to a litigation team
• Care about the outcome, not just the prose
• J.D. from an accredited law school required.

Responsibilities

• Draft and refine the high-stakes legal writing that happens after the verdict, appeals, dispositive motions, and strategic briefs that hold our wins and advance the law in favor of employees across California.

Benefits

• The firm pays 100% of premiums for dental, vision, and Silver-level medical
• Firm-contributed $500 FSA
• Approximately 10% employer retirement contribution (3% Safe Harbor + 7% Profit Sharing)
• 80 hours PTO, sick time, and your birthday off
• Bar dues, MCLEs, and referral bonuses are all on the firm.
• Firm-sponsored social and networking events
