Renne Public Law Group - Litigation Attorney

We are Renne Public Law Group (“RPLG”), recently named by the Daily Journal as one of the Top 20 Boutique Law Firms in California. Two of our partners are Daily Journal Top 100 Women Lawyers in California, and other partners are California Super Lawyers.

We are looking for litigators with demonstrated academic success, and one to six years in experience, to join our growing practice in the federal and state courts throughout California. We practice public law, in the public interest, representing public agencies all over the state.

Experience in labor and employment law or public sector law is a plus.

Our firm was founded by Louise Renne, former San Francisco City Attorney, a pioneer of affirmative litigation in the public interest. Our lawyers have decades of experience litigating innovative cases.

If you join us, you can expect to take on major case responsibility including direct client contact, investigations, depositions, court and administrative hearings and trial. This past year, a lawyer who recently joined us participated in two trials, and in the coming year, we have an exciting line up of cases.

Our cases often present thorny and novel legal issues. Many involve challenging questions of state and federal constitutional and statutory law. Below is a sample of matters:

• On behalf of a county, we recently defended an industry challenge to a citizen initiative that presented questions of void for vagueness, federal preemption and other issues.

• On behalf of a hospital dedicated to care for the indigent, we are suing a retirement system for systematically overcharging to the detriment of the hospital’s mission in violation of state constitutional duties.

• On behalf of various public entities, we are litigating cutting edge issues regarding application of the state and federal contracts clauses, including a case pending in the California Supreme Court.

• We have joined with other attorneys to sue opioid manufacturers and large technology companies over their corporate practices.

If our practice is of interest, we would like to hear from you. Applicants should submit a cover letter describing their education, career goals, and relevant experience, along with their resume and a writing sample to resumes@publiclawgroup.com.
