Associate - Employment Litigation (Jr to Mid -Level)
About The Position
Our AmLaw 100 client is doubling down on its investment in the future of employment law. The firm is seeking a junior to mid -level associate (2020 -2023 JD) to join its powerhouse Employment Practice, serving a portfolio of top -tier clients in tech, life sciences, and private equity. This isn’t your typical back -office litigation gig.

Day -to -day client counseling on terminations, policy reviews, and discrimination claims will be a regular part of your practice. If you're ready to make your move and work with a firm that's leading the conversation in employment law, let's talk.
