Job Description

Job Description

Employee Benefits & ERISA Associate Attorney

Current & Future Opportunities | Confidential Career Conversations

Specialized experience deserves the right platform.

Employee Benefits and ERISA attorneys bring highly valuable expertise to sophisticated corporate transactions, retirement plans, executive compensation arrangements, and regulatory matters.

Aligned Talent Acquisition is interested in connecting with Employee Benefits and ERISA Associate Attorneys who may be open to exploring their next professional opportunity.

I work primarily with Am Law 50, 100, and 200 firms , but I also frequently partner with small and midsize firms, respected regional firms, and sophisticated boutiques across multiple markets.

Not currently practicing at an Am Law firm? I'd still love to hear from you! I welcome associates from firms of all sizes and value relevant experience, skills, and career goals.

Areas of Experience
  • ERISA and employee benefits compliance

  • Qualified retirement plans

  • Executive compensation

  • Health and welfare benefit plans

  • Benefits-related M&A and corporate transactions

What Could Your Next Move Offer?

✅ More sophisticated benefits and compensation matters

✅ Greater client responsibility and collaboration

✅ Competitive compensation and bonus opportunities

✅ Stronger professional development and mentorship

✅ Better long-term advancement and work-life balance

You don't need to be actively searching to learn what your experience could be worth in today's market.

This is an opportunistic search, not an advertisement for one specific opening. However, I work with numerous law firms across multiple markets and may already have active opportunities that align with your experience and career goals.

Whether there's an immediate fit or we stay connected for the right opportunity down the road, I'd welcome the chance to learn more about your background, compensation expectations, and what matters most to you in your next move.

All conversations are confidential. Your resume and identifying information will never be shared with a firm without your permission.
