Why this is a fit
This is a California employment litigation motion-writing role requiring CA bar admission and California-specific litigation experience, neither of which aligns with your ERISA/employee benefits/HIPAA in-house compliance background or your target of senior counsel/AGC-level roles; your experience is transactional and regulatory rather than motion-practice litigation, and the CA bar requirement is a hard disqualifier.
