EMPLOYMENT LITIGATION
DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY
CIVIL LITIGATION BRANCH
Salary Range: $115,696 - $221,390
About Us
The Los Angeles City Attorney's office is one of the nation's largest municipal law offices. With over 1,000 legal professionals, including 500 attorneys, the Office provides the City with the highest caliber of legal services, ranging from prosecuting criminal misdemeanors and playing a leading role in criminal justice reform, advising on homelessness initiatives, defending civil lawsuits and claims, and bringing civil enforcement actions in the name of the People of the State of California.
Guided by an overarching commitment to integrity, accountability and transparency, we find great meaning in the work we do and the services we provide.
Duties and Responsibilities
The Employment Litigation Division defends City departments and individual City employees in employment litigation brought by current and former employees. The Divisions practice has a strong focus on public safety employees (Police and Fire); however, the work includes a variety of cases from many City departments.
Most of the litigation involves California state law employment theories, especially those arising under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Labor Code § 1102.5 (the whistleblower statute). However, a working knowledge of labor law and theories in federal employment litigation is helpful in analyzing the cases.
Requirements
Significant trial experience (civil or criminal) to verdict;
At least three years of litigation practice in California Superior Court or United States District Court;
Demonstrated strong research and writing skills in complex areas of law;
Ability to deal effectively with public officials, departmental personnel and members of the public;
Strong analytical and reasoning skills, good judgment, and a strong work ethic; and
Strong oral communication and advocacy skills.
Writing Sample
Candidates are required to submit two writing samples that they personally have authored in the last two years.
