Job description

A highly respected New Jersey firm with a longstanding reputation is growing its Employment practice and looking for an attorney who wants more than just a seat at the table.

This role offers a genuine blend of counselling and litigation. You'll be a trusted advisor to clients on day-to-day workplace issues - compliance, risk management, and strategic guidance - while also stepping into the courtroom when disputes arise, defending employment-related claims and representing clients through litigation.

It's a rare opportunity to work on sophisticated matters that keep both sides of your skill set sharp: the strategic, advisory instincts clients rely on day-to-day, and the advocacy skills that come to the forefront when a case goes contentious. For an attorney who wants to build a well-rounded practice, this is a chance to do both at a firm with the reputation and caseload to back it up.

What they're looking for:

• 3-5 years of Employment Litigation experience
• Admission to the New Jersey bar
• Strong legal research, writing, and advocacy skills
