Job description

Overview

The Akron, OH office of Lewis Brisbois, a full-service AmLaw 100 firm, is actively seeking a part-time attorney to join its Labor & Employment Practice.

The ideal candidate will be admitted to practice in Ohio and have at least one (1) to seven (7) years of experience in employment law matters, primarily handling issues on behalf of private and carrier clients with the potential for some commercial litigation. Prior employment litigation experience is required (preferably on the management side), and employment counseling or in-house employment law experience is preferred. This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys who can proactively manage files and deadlines and who are proactive and passionate about assuming a high-level role providing legal service within a sophisticated practice and who are seeking to assume a significant role in all aspects of labor and employment law. Preferably open to a part-time role (although full-time could be considered), this role requires extensive contact with clients, governmental agencies and opposing counsel, making it ideal for an experienced lawyer who desires meaningful work in a flexible atmosphere.

Lewis Brisbois' Labor & Employment Practice represents clients from coast to coast in all phases and types of employment litigation, counseling, and training. Our team of employment professionals is spread throughout our locations across the United States and provides clients with sound counsel in dozens of jurisdictions. Our size and geographic coverage allow us to provide our clients with consistent representation throughout the nation.

Qualified candidates will be comfortable drafting and responding to discovery and initial pleadings, drafting, and arguing motions, as well as taking and defending depositions. Candidates must have strong writing and analytical skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. The successful candidate will be a self-starter with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Although we would prefer that you have some experience in employment law, we are also interested in working with developing talented attorneys who come to us with excellent skills in any litigation arena. If you have substantive litigation experience, a demonstrated interest in labor and employment law, and are looking for an opportunity in a growing, collaborative firm, we invite you to apply.

We offer competitive compensation and in addition, Lewis Brisbois offers a range of benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k with employer match.
