•Active bar admission in [state]
•Strong writing and oral advocacy skills
•Comfortable managing a full caseload independently in a fast-paced environment
•Client-focused, with the organizational skills to juggle competing deadlines
•A genuine interest in advocating for employees facing workplace issues

Compensation & Growth
•$100,000 base salary + significant performance-based bonus/commission (Greater than $130,000 expected earnings)
•Significant bonus/commission structure tied to case outcomes and settlements — top performers on our team earn well above base
•Health insurance, 401K, bar dues
•Real path for growth as the firm expands its Employment Law Department

Why Join Us
Join a team that is passionate and dedicated to making our clients whole. You'll have the opportunity to work alongside and learn from some of the best attorneys in the field — attorneys with decades of experience at some of the largest firms in the country, having litigated on both sides of employment disputes. Our team has recovered millions of dollars for our clients, and we're looking for someone who wants to keep building on that track record.
