Employment Litigation Associate

LHH

Our team is working with a midsize law firm, currently looking for a litigation attorney who focuses on employment law.

  • Ideal for someone with at least two years of experience practicing employment litigation at a law firm
  • Experience should include exposure to employment discrimination, retaliation claims, restrictive covenants, internal investigations, traditional labor laws (collective bargaining negotiations)
  • This is not a good fit for a litigator who does not have exposure to employment law issues
  • This is a great role for someone who is looking for direct client-interaction representing employers in both litigation defense and counseling for a diverse base of middle-market clients
  • This role will allow the attorney to have the opportunity to have significant courtroom exposure and direct partner engagement
  • Excellent opportunity for those who want meaningful responsibility earlier on in their careers than at an AmLaw firm, without sacrificing the high quality work
  • Must be admitted in New York
  • 1700 billable hours for a competitive salary (as well as multiple bonuses)
  • Hybrid work arrangement

If you are interested in this role, please apply immediately. This is a great position and we anticipate it will be filled quickly!
