Human Resources Director (189346)
Estrin Legal, Los Angeles, CA, United States
Human Resources Director – Los Angeles (Hybrid)
The role that turns HR into a strategic power center.
Must have law firm experience
Not every HR leadership role has a seat at the table. This one does.
Our client, a highly respected, multi-office law firm, is seeking a
Human Resources Director
to lead firmwide HR operations and partner directly with executive leadership. This is a high-impact position for someone who knows how to run a tight HR function—and elevate it.
Why This HR Director Role Stands Out
Oversight of critical HR functions: compensation, benefits, employee relations, performance management, and compliance Ownership of firmwide evaluation and compensation processes Strategic involvement in HR technology, analytics, and AI-driven improvements Hybrid schedule (2+ days onsite in Los Angeles)
What You’ll Drive Seamless HR operations. Smart, defensible employee relations decisions. Flawless execution of payroll, benefits, and compliance. Data-backed insights that leadership actually uses.
What It Takes to be an HR Director at This Firm 7+ years of progressive HR leadership experience Proven ability to manage teams and complex HR programs end-to-end Strong command of employee relations, compliance, and performance systems Experience with ADP HRIS and payroll; exposure to legal or professional services environments
The Bottom Line This is not an administrative HR role. It’s a leadership position with visibility, authority, and the ability to shape how a sophisticated law firm attracts, manages, and retains its talent. If HR is both your discipline and your business strategy—this is where they meet.
Other titles: HR Director, Human Resources Manager, Chief People, Talent Acquisition
