Salary: $110,000 - $175,000 per year A bit about us: We are a full-service law firm built by attorneys who wanted a more thoughtful and flexible way to practice law. Our work spans a broad range of legal matters, and we approach each engagement with a focus on practical judgment, collaboration, and efficiency. We value clear thinking over rigid process and encourage lawyers to understand the broader context of a client’s goals. Our teams work closely across disciplines, allowing us to adapt as matters evolve. Internally, we operate with a collegial mindset, open communication, and respect for different perspectives, believing that strong relationships and sound judgment lead to better outcomes for both clients and colleagues. Why join us? We provide an environment where lawyers can develop meaningful practices without being confined to narrow roles or predetermined paths. Attorneys are trusted with responsibility early, work directly with experienced colleagues, and gain exposure to substantive matters and clients. We value initiative, curiosity, and practical problem-solving, and we support lawyers who want to shape their careers thoughtfully over time. Our culture is professional and grounded, with an emphasis on flexibility, balance, and long-term sustainability. Good ideas are welcomed regardless of seniority, and success is measured by quality of work, collaboration, and personal growth—not by adherence to tradition alone. Job Details We are seeking an Employment Associate to join a collaborative practice representing management-side clients in a broad range of workplace matters. This role combines employment litigation with day-to-day counseling and strategic advice, providing attorneys with meaningful exposure to both dispute resolution and proactive risk management.
