What You Will Do

• Represent employers in litigation and administrative proceedings involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage and hour, and wrongful termination claims
• Handle matters before state and federal courts, as well as agencies such as the EEOC, NLRB, and their state-level counterparts
• Conduct depositions, draft dispositive motions, and manage discovery in single-plaintiff and class or collective action matters
• Advise clients on day-to-day employment issues, including hiring, discipline, leave management, reasonable accommodation, and reductions in force
• Review and draft employment policies, handbooks, and agreements, including non-competes and separation agreements
• Counsel clients on compliance with Nevada and federal employment law, including wage and hour regulations, and support clients through internal investigations
• Work directly with clients to provide practical, business-oriented advice, not just legal analysis
• Collaborate with attorneys across the firm's national platform on multi-jurisdictional matters
• Apply AI-driven and emerging legal technology tools to improve efficiency, work product, and client service

Qualifications

• Minimum 2 to 6 years of civil litigation experience, ideally including both single-plaintiff defense and advice and counsel work, or some experience with employment litigation.

Why This Role

• Direct access to sophisticated, management-side employment litigation and counseling work, with a client base that spans industries nationally and globally
• Hybrid flexibility
• A firm built specifically around this practice area, rather than employment as one department among many, which means deeper resources, more mentorship, and a clearer career track within the specialty
