Job Description

Labor and Employment Attorney

Manchester, New Hampshire

Drummond Woodsum’s Manchester, NH office is seeking an attorney to join our labor and employment law practice group. We are a collaborative, tight-knit team that works closely with employers, particularly in the New Hampshire public sector (e.g., school districts, town, cities, and counties) and Tribal Nation clients, to provide thoughtful, practical guidance on workplace issues before they become disputes.

A central focus of this role is client counseling and proactive risk assessment. Our attorneys advise organizational leaders, HR professionals, and public officials to help them navigate complex employment issues, identify potential legal risks, and implement sound policies and practices.   We provide advice on all aspects of the employer/employee relationship, including collective bargaining, grievance administration, workplace discrimination, disability accommodation compliance, wage and hour laws, and workplace misconduct.  Our team is also frequently called upon to provide training on labor and employment law topics to supervisors and employees. While much of our work involves preventative counseling and strategic guidance, our team also represents clients in state and federal courts, before federal and state agencies, and in labor arbitration. 

We are seeking qualified applicants who are interested in developing a practice centered on client counseling, particularly within the New Hampshire public sector. The ideal candidate will have excellent academic credentials; research, writing, interpersonal, and analytical skills; and have an interest in labor and employment law. Applicants with 0-5 years of related experience are encouraged to apply. We are invested in the success of all our associates and will provide training, mentoring, and resources to support your development as a labor and employment practitioner.  New Hampshire bar admission is strongly preferred and the ability to obtain NH bar admission is required.  As a close-knit, collaborative team, this role is primarily in-person, with occasional flexibility for remote work.

Drummond Woodsum offers a competitive compensation and benefits package. We are committed to diversity and inclusion in our hiring practice and encourage qualified candidates of all backgrounds to apply.  Please click apply. All inquiries are held in the strictest confidence. No phone calls, please.
