Clear workload expectations with a target of approximately 2,100 recorded hours annually. Compensation includes a base salary range and significant performance‑based bonus potential.

THE ROLE

Manage wage and hour matters from early case development through resolution. Develop and execute litigation strategy, case plans, and key deadlines. Draft and argue motions, including dispositive motions and settlement‑related briefing. Lead discovery efforts, including written discovery, document review coordination, and meet‑and‑confer work. Take and defend depositions, including witness preparation and deposition strategy. Appear for hearings and oral argument as needed.

REQUIREMENTS

Juris Doctor from an accredited law school. Approximately 5 to 10 years of significant litigation experience (plaintiff‑side experience is helpful for faster ramp‑up).

Strong motion practice and legal writing skills, with comfort managing matters beyond a briefing‑only role.
