We are seeking an experienced attorney to join our labor and employment team in a counseling-focused role. This position centers on advising employers on day-to-day workplace matters, helping clients navigate risk, compliance, and employee relations issues in real time. You will work directly with HR professionals, in-house counsel, and leadership teams across a range of industries, providing practical and business-oriented guidance. This role offers flexibility in structure, including the potential for reduced hours or remote work, depending on the candidate’s experience and preferences.

A bit about us

We are a management-side labor and employment team that helps organizations handle workplace issues with a practical, business-first approach. Our work spans day-to-day counseling, compliance guidance, and dispute resolution, including employment litigation and traditional labor matters. We partner closely with clients to understand their operations and help them make defensible decisions in real time, not just after a problem escalates. We work collaboratively across matters, value clear communication, and focus on delivering advice and advocacy that is efficient, strategic, and grounded in sound judgment.

Why join us

We offer hands-on experience, meaningful responsibility, and the chance to build a well-rounded labor and employment practice. Our attorneys get exposure to both counseling and litigation, with opportunities to work directly with clients, develop strategy, and sharpen writing and advocacy skills. We keep teams lean enough for real ownership while maintaining a supportive environment with strong mentorship and collaboration. If you enjoy practical problem-solving, client-facing work, and a team that invests in your growth, you’ll fit in well here.
