Lawyer

Pay: $150,000.00 - $250,000.00 per year

Why This Is a Great Opportunity

• Join a nationally recognized litigation powerhouse with a track record of over a billion dollars in settlements and verdicts across State and Federal Courts
• Work on high-stakes, mission-driven cases — FLSA collective actions, wage and hour class actions, and systemic wage abuse litigation that genuinely changes workers' lives
• Collaborate with elite attorneys, including former DOJ and FBI personnel, in a firm that takes on the biggest firms in the country and wins
• Performance-based bonus structure that rewards your impact and contributions
• Grow your career in a firm that actively invests in thought leadership, CLEs, and your professional visibility
• Three office locations with openings in Jersey City, NJ; Wayne, PA; and an upcoming Washington, D.C. office — rare flexibility to find your best fit within a high-caliber team
• Real courtroom experience: this is not a document review role — you will litigate, argue, and lead

Location: This role is based on-site at one of three exciting locations — Jersey City, NJ, Wayne, PA, or our upcoming Washington, D.C. office. While some flexibility exists, this is a team that thrives in person and moves fast together.

Note: Candidates must have 5+ years of federal court FLSA litigation experience with substantive, hands‑on case management. This is a non‑negotiable requirement. Active bar admission in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction is required. Multi‑state admission is a strong plus.

Qualifications

• J.D. with active bar admission in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (multi‑state strongly preferred)
