Title: California Employment Attorney (Consulting) – Advise Pro Se Plaintiff in Dispute with Tech Company

Job Type: Consulting / Hourly (No representation required)

Overview:

I am seeking an experienced California employment attorney to consult and advise me as I navigate an employment-related dispute with a former employer in the tech industry. I am currently considering self-representation (pro se) and would like strategic legal guidance, risk assessment, and help reviewing communications and negotiation posture.

This is not full legal representation. I am specifically looking for a consulting attorney who can provide tactical advice on an hourly basis.

• Review communications with opposing counsel
• Advise on potential claims and risks
• Provide guidance on self-representation approach
• Identify weaknesses in my position
• Advise on negotiation strategy
• Review prior counsel conduct (optional but helpful)
• Help prepare structured responses

This will be ad hoc consulting, likely 1–3 hours per week initially.

Case Context (High Level):
• Former employer is a tech / crypto company
• Issue involves termination / separation and equity-related matters
• There are existing settlement discussions
• I previously retained counsel and am evaluating next steps
• I may proceed pro se with consulting support

More details will be shared after engagement.

Ideal Candidate:
• California licensed employment attorney
• Experience with tech company employment disputes
• Experience with separation agreements
• Familiarity with equity or stock option issues preferred
• Experience with settlement negotiation
• Comfortable advising pro se litigants is a plus
• Strong strategic thinking and practical advice

Engagement Structure:
• Hourly consulting
• No court appearance required
• No formal representation required
• Confidential advisory role
• Flexible schedule

To Apply, Please Include:
• Years of employment law experience
• California bar status
• Experience with tech companies if any
• Whether you are comfortable advising pro se clients
• Hourly rate
• Availability this week

Budget:

Open. Hourly consulting preferred.

If you have experience advising clients in self-representation scenarios, that is a strong plus.
