Job Details

About the opportunity

A well established firm is looking for a labor and employment attorney to take on a full plate of work. An equity partner with a substantial employment practice is transitioning to retirement, and you’d work alongside the senior equity partner taking over that practice. This is a great opportunity for growth, professional development and leadership, with a reasonable ramp to equity membership based on performance.

What you’ll do

• Handle all aspects of labor and employment law, including wage and hour, discrimination, negotiations and contracts
• Represent employers, including small businesses, large and small health care organizations and hospital systems
• Work on matters for the firm’s existing clients, with a lot of responsibility from day one
• Manage your own files if you’re coming in as a non-equity partner with an existing book of business

What we’re looking for

• Lateral partner (non-equity) or senior associate with 5+ years of focused labor and employment experience
• Experience representing employers
• A book of business of $125K to $200K+ is looked upon favorably, but a portable book is not required

Compensation and benefits

Non-equity partner

• Guaranteed base of roughly $135K to $155K+
• Minimum billable hours of 1,600 in the first year and 1,700 after that
• If you meet your hours, a 7.5% to 10% bonus on origination dollars (work you bring in) and a 7.5% to 10% bonus on receipts generated by your own work
• All of this is subject to negotiation

Senior associate

• Around $125K to start, with some flexibility for more experience
• Associate bonus program, with average annual bonuses of roughly $10K+ for good performance
• A 5% origination bonus if you bring any portable business

Both

• An attractive benefits package

Why this role

• A busy practice is already waiting for you, so you won’t have to build one from scratch
• Clear path to equity
• Work directly with a senior equity partner
