Job Description

Employment Law Attorney

About the Opportunity

LegalStaffers is continuously seeking dedicated and strategic Employment Law Attorneys to join our growing network of practice groups. Whether you are an emerging attorney looking to build a foundation in management-side defense or a seasoned litigator with a portable book of business, we offer platforms tailored to your career trajectory. By applying to this role , you will be considered for a variety of roles ranging from mid-level associates to senior counsel across multiple office locations and work models.

What You Will Do

We understand that employment law is multifaceted. Depending on your experience level and the specific team's needs, your responsibilities will draw from the following core areas:

  • Represent employers in a diverse range of litigation, including wage and hour disputes, discrimination and harassment claims, and complex class actions.
  • Provide preventative counseling to corporate and public sector clients regarding HR policies, employee handbooks, and workforce management.
  • Manage administrative proceedings and appearances before agencies such as the EEOC, state civil rights departments, and labor commissions.
  • For senior-level candidates: Take ownership of case strategy from inception to resolution, cultivate client relationships for business development, and mentor junior associates.
  • Conduct employment law compliance audits and advise clients on the impact of evolving legislation.

What We Are Looking For

To ensure a strong mutual fit, we are looking for candidates who bring a mix of the following qualifications:

  • Experience: Between 3 and 8+ years of post-JD experience specifically focused on employment law.
  • Education: A Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school and active State Bar membership in good standing.
  • A background in management-side or employer-side defense, with exposure to both litigation and compliance counseling.
  • Superior analytical, research, and negotiating abilities, paired with excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Bonus: Trial experience, public entity defense background, or a portable book of business.

What We Offer

Because this pipeline covers multiple firm profiles and geographic needs, compensation and benefits are highly adaptable:

  • Flexible Work Models: Opportunities include fully remote, hybrid, and traditional on-site schedules.
  • Competitive Compensation: Base salaries span a broad spectrum from $120,000 to $275,000, tailored strictly to your years of practice, expected production, and geographic location.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Potential packages include performance-based bonuses, competitive health insurance, equity options, and continuing legal education budgets.

Why Join Our Talent Network?

By applying to this evergreen role, you will be considered for a variety of current open positions and upcoming positions that match your specific expertise, whether that entails taking ownership of state and federal e-filing or supporting high-volume transactional and closing work. We value candidates who bring a collaborative spirit and a drive for precision.
