Job Description

Rogers Joseph O’Donnell, P.C. is seeking an associate attorney with an active California Bar license and  at least 5 years of experience  in employment law advice and counseling and/or litigation (preferably defense-side) to work in the firm’s San Francisco office. This position will primarily support the firm’s Labor and Employment Law Group. However, associates at RJO are expected to work with other practice groups within the firm when the need arises.

Ideal candidates should be self-starters with the ability to work independently and as part of a team. We are looking for candidates with solid academic credentials, excellent writing skills, strong analytical abilities with a consistent attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. Candidates with experience in litigating wage and hour matters, traditional labor law, drafting employment policies and advising clients on employment law issues (e.g., terminations, leaves of absence, investigations, wage practices, etc.) are highly desired.

RJO prides itself on its inclusivity and the loyalty of its clients, attorneys, and staff. Excellent lawyering, smart business-focused advice and our collaborative team of staff and attorneys keep the firm successful and healthy and make it a truly pleasant place to work. Associates are given client-facing opportunities early and often. This is the type of firm where becoming a shareholder is a realistic goal for those who show a commitment and dedication to their own professional development. 

The firm has always taken a flexible approach on remote work for attorneys, but also values the collegiality that is built by face-to-face interactions, as such, associates are currently expected to be present at least three days a week in the office. 

The annual salary range for this role is $187,000 to $ 210,000 per year, with benefits (among other things, the firm pays the entirety of an associate’s health and dental insurance premiums and 30 percent of the premiums for dependents). This is the salary range we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. An associate’s pay within the salary range will be based on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, experience, skills, qualifications and business needs.

Associates are  expected to work a minimum of 1800 billable hours per year to remain in good standing. Approved pro-bono work up to 100 hours and approved diversity, equity and inclusion work up to 25 hours will count toward 1800 billable hours target. Associates who work above the minimum billable hour requirement are eligible to receive the following hours-based bonuses: 

1900 Billable Hours - Additional Bonus - 7% of annual salary

2000 Billable Hours - Additional Bonus - 8% of annual salary

2100 Billable Hours - Additional Bonus - 10% of annual salary

In addition to hours-based bonuses, associates are also eligible for merit-based bonuses each year based on a variety of factors, such as achieving outstanding results for a client, contributions to the firm and business development efforts.

Interested candidates should submit a  cover letter, writing sample, law school transcript and resume by email to this job posting with attention to: Tracy D’Ambrosi, Office Manager: tdambrosi@rjo.com. Rogers Joseph O’Donnell is an equal opportunity employer.
