Job Description

Labor & Employment Associate Attorney – Philadelphia or New York

Direct Counsel is seeking a Labor & Employment Associate to join a highly respected Am Law firm in Philadelphia or New York. This partner-track opportunity is ideal for an attorney with 2–5 years of experience in traditional labor law who is looking to grow within a collaborative and nationally recognized labor & employment practice.

The ideal candidate will have substantive experience handling a broad range of traditional labor matters, including labor arbitrations, unfair labor practice charges before the National Labor Relations Board, collective bargaining, and union avoidance counseling. Prior first- or second-chair arbitration experience is strongly preferred. Experience litigating wage and hour class and collective actions, particularly matters involving unionized employees, is considered a plus.

Qualified candidates will possess:

  • 2–5 years of labor & employment experience, with a focus on traditional labor law
  • Experience prosecuting and defending unfair labor practice charges before the NLRB
  • Collective bargaining and union avoidance experience
  • Strong legal writing, analytical, and advocacy skills
  • Excellent academic credentials
  • The ability to work effectively across offices and within collaborative teams

This firm offers a collegial and team-oriented culture with a strong commitment to client service and professional development. Attorneys are expected to maintain a hybrid schedule with regular in-office collaboration while also benefiting from flexibility and work-life balance support.

Compensation is highly competitive, with an anticipated salary range of approximately $225,000–$290,000, depending on experience, qualifications, and other relevant factors. The comprehensive benefits package includes bonus opportunities, health and wellness benefits, retirement plans, and additional attorney benefits.

If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please apply through Direct Counsel.
