A bit about us:

A well-established midsized law firm with a strong presence across the Northeast is seeking a Senior Employment Associate to join its growing Employment Practice Group in Boston.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced employment attorney who wants a sophisticated mix of counseling, transactional, and litigation work, along with meaningful client contact and a clear path for continued professional growth. The attorney will advise employers across a range of industries on day-to-day workplace matters, complex employment issues, regulatory compliance, and disputes before courts and administrative agencies.

The firm offers the resources and quality of work associated with a larger platform while maintaining a collaborative, collegial environment where senior associates are trusted with substantive responsibility and direct client relationships.

Why join us?

Why Consider This Opportunity?
This role offers an experienced associate the opportunity to build a well-rounded employment practice rather than being limited to only litigation or counseling work.

The successful candidate can expect:
A sophisticated mix of employment counseling and litigation.
Significant direct client contact and relationship-building opportunities.
Substantive responsibility for matters from an early stage.
Exposure to a diverse client base across multiple industries.
Opportunities to handle agency proceedings, court matters, investigations, and transactional employment work.
Strong mentorship and support from experienced employment attorneys.
Excellent long-term advancement potential within a growing practice.
A positive, collegial culture within a respected Northeast-based firm.
Compensation

The anticipated base salary range for this Boston-based position is $175,000–$250,000, depending on relevant experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors. Additional compensation and a comprehensive benefits package may also be available.

Job Details

Key Responsibilities
Advise employers on a broad range of federal and state employment law matters.
Counsel clients regarding hiring, discipline, termination, leaves of absence, accommodations, wage and hour compliance, discrimination, retaliation, and workplace policies.
Draft and revise employee handbooks, workplace policies, employment agreements, restrictive covenant agreements, separation agreements, offer letters, and other employment-related documents.
Represent employers in litigation involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage and hour claims, restrictive covenants, and other workplace disputes.
Handle matters before administrative agencies, including the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and other state and federal agencies.
Conduct legal research and prepare pleadings, motions, briefs, position statements, discovery responses, and other substantive written work.
Manage discovery, depositions, hearings, mediations, and settlement negotiations.
Work directly with clients to provide practical, business-oriented guidance.
Collaborate with attorneys across the firm on employment issues arising in corporate transactions, investigations, and other business matters.
Assist with workplace investigations and labor matters where relevant.
Mentor junior attorneys and contribute to the continued growth of the Employment Practice Group.

Qualifications
At least 4 years of substantive employment law experience.
Broad experience advising and representing employers.
Strong knowledge of federal and state employment laws and regulations.
Experience drafting employment agreements, workplace policies, handbooks, and related documents.
Meaningful employment litigation experience in state or federal court.
Experience handling matters before administrative agencies such as the MCAD, EEOC, or DOL.
Excellent legal research, writing, drafting, and analytical skills.
Strong client-service abilities and sound professional judgment.
Ability to manage matters independently while working collaboratively with colleagues.
Experience with labor relations, collective bargaining, or workplace investigations is helpful but not required.
Massachusetts Bar admission is required or must be obtainable promptly.
