How deep is your coverage of employment and labor lawyers in New York?
We actively track 2,000+ employment and labor practitioners in the New York market, from senior partners at large management-side firms to boutique plaintiff litigators and in-house labor counsel. Our mapping spans litigation, traditional labor, executive employment, and regulatory practices unique to this market.
What makes the New York employment and labor market distinctive for lateral recruitment?
New York's density of financial institutions, media companies, and multinational enterprises that operate in the city creates demand for practitioners with highly specialized sector fluency — not just broad employment law experience. Restrictive covenant litigation, financial-services workforce regulation, and class action defense are particularly competitive here, which means lateral decisions carry unusual strategic weight.
Can you place employment and labor candidates at both law firms and in-house teams in New York?
Yes. We recruit across law firm partnership and associate tracks as well as in-house roles with companies that operate in New York. Our market map covers both channels, so we can advise candidates on the full range of opportunities and advise clients on the realistic competitive landscape before a search opens.
