Job Description

Labor & Employment Defense Associate | New York, NY or Los Angeles, CA

Most employment attorneys pick a side early in their career. This role is for the one who chose to represent employers and is ready to do it at the highest level.

What you get:

  • $150,000 to $200,000 a year, negotiable based on experience
  • Full benefits package
  • National career mobility across 700 plus attorneys and 10 practice areas
  • Early responsibility and direct client ownership from day one
  • Mentorship from attorneys who have spent decades on the employer side
  • A platform that has stood for over 100 years and still growing

What you will be doing:

  • Representing employers in state and federal courts, administrative agencies, arbitration and mediation
  • Conducting workplace investigations and witness interviews
  • Drafting pleadings, motions, briefs, position statements and employment agreements
  • Managing discovery, depositions and case strategy
  • Advising employers daily on workplace policies, compliance and employee relations
  • Building client relationships and developing your own book of business over time

What you need to bring:

  • JD from an ABA accredited law school
  • Active New York State Bar membership in good standing
  • Two to four years of employment defense experience at a law firm
  • Courtroom experience representing employers in state and federal courts
  • Experience before administrative agencies, mediators or arbitrators

This role is available in New York and Los Angeles.
