Our client, a well-regarded boutique litigation firm, is seeking a Senior Associate or Counsel-level attorney with 5–7 years of experience handling sophisticated management-side employment litigation in a midsize or larger firm environment. This is an opportunity to work closely with two highly regarded partners on high-stakes matters for an impressive roster of corporate clients. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record representing employers in complex disputes, including matters involving workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour class and collective actions, retaliation, restrictive covenant and trade secret litigation, and breach of employment agreements. Experience managing all phases of litigation is essential—drafting and arguing dispositive motions, conducting and defending depositions, managing discovery, developing trial strategy, and representing clients before state and federal courts, arbitrators, and administrative agencies such as the EEOC and state human rights divisions. Strong analytical skills, persuasive advocacy, and the ability to translate legal strategy into practical client advice are key. Commercial litigation experience is considered a strong plus and will be highly valued in supporting the partners’ broader practices. Relevant work could include contract disputes, business tort claims, partnership or shareholder litigation, breach of fiduciary duty matters, and complex real estate or business-related disputes. The ability to pivot between employment and commercial matters will make you a trusted resource to the partners and their clients, while providing exposure to varied, challenging work. This firm places a high priority on personal fit alongside subject matter expertise, fostering a collegial, collaborative, and respectful environment. Attorneys here are given meaningful responsibility, opportunities for direct client interaction, and a clear path for professional growth, all while working in a close-knit team setting. Compensation includes a base salary of $160K–$180K, plus 20% of originations, bonus, and a top-tier benefits package. This is an exceptional chance to deepen your employment litigation practice while contributing to a firm culture that values both excellence and people. J.
