Any recommendations for a good L&E group in LA? Looking for somewhere with a good culture and not too sweaty…I’ve done some due diligence but only heard horror stories so far 😂

I’ve been at three firms in LA doing L&E, two big law and Littler. By far the best group was Littler, though my practice is pretty niche so I wasn’t exposed to too many partners and the ones I worked with were all very down to earth and not neurotic. I’m now back in big law for the money as a mid-level but expect I will go back to Littler or one of the other Big 4 employment shops in a few years, as partnership is not realistic at my current firm.

My first firm was toxic, which is why I left to Littler. My current firm is fine. I’ve been here a little over a year and the people are mostly great. Though again my practice is more niche (I do LMR), so the personalities are different and I’ve heard bad things about the employment partners from colleagues.

I specialize in recruiting for big law L&E positions in LA. Feel free to message me if you’d like to discuss some firms together. No obligation—just happy if I can help. I don’t know what year of practice you’re in, but a few firms with openings that I hear generally good things about are: Baker Hostetler, Seyfarth Shaw (for associates), Holland & Knight, and then Davis Wright Tremaine (a little below market) is an honorable mention. Can confirm from colleagues and placements that Littler is a great place to work with real equity partnership opportunities.

Thank you! I’d love to but I don’t think there’s a DM option.

Hi Everyone,

Need your valuable insights. Having an YOE of 11 years and offered TechLead position with a CTC of 30 LPA (28.5 LPA Fixed) a month ago.

Though their WLB and culture seems good, I kept feeling that I am being lowballed which pushed me to give further interviews.

Received another offer for same role from another PBC for 35LPA (33 Fixed). Is it OK to ask the first company to revise the CTC (up to their best) where the DOJ is in 10 days?
