We are looking for an Associate Attorney with at least 3-5 years of employment litigation experience who is ready to take an active and growing role in representing clients at every stage of a case. Experience in employment litigation required.

Compensation: $150,000 per year

Who Should Apply
This position is for an attorney who:
Has substantial, verifiable plaintiff-side employment litigation experience across the full spectrum described above — not primarily transactional, advisory, or defense-side. Applicants will be required to submit at least two filed briefs.
Is comfortable in a small firm environment where there is no large team behind each task — and who sees direct case responsibility as the point, not a burden
Can handle real client relationships — difficult facts, difficult emotions, and clients who are often in the worst professional moments of their lives
Wants a long-term home in plaintiff employment law, not a resume stop
If your experience is primarily transactional, advisory, employer-side defense, or in a practice area other than employment law, this position is not the right fit. Please do not apply.
