Labor and Employment Associate

We are seeking an associate with at least four years of experience to join our Labor and Employment team on a full-time, partnership-track basis. This position may be based in one of our offices in Washington, D.C., Richmond, Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.

The ideal candidate will have experience managing employment litigation matters, including taking and defending depositions, drafting and arguing motions, communicating with opposing counsel, and independently managing case strategy, deadlines, and dockets. You should also be comfortable advising employers on a broad range of workplace issues. Familiarity with federal and state OSHA laws and regulations is a plus.

You should be capable of independently managing matters, developing practical and business-focused advice, conducting legal research, drafting position statements and other advocacy materials, and coordinating effectively with colleagues and clients.
