Job description
The strongest employment attorneys are both litigators and trusted business advisers.
This opportunity offers the chance to develop both sides of that practice.
A leading AM50 firm with a specialist Labor and Employment practice is seeking an attorney with 2 to 5 years of experience for its Chicago office.
The role combines sophisticated employment litigation with practical counseling work. You will help employers respond to active disputes while also advising them on the policies, decisions and compliance issues that can prevent future claims.
Your work will include:
Defending discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wage and hour claims
Advising employers on day to day workplace issues and compliance matters
Managing litigation and administrative proceedings from inception through resolution
Drafting pleadings, motions, position statements, agreements and workplace policies
Conducting depositions and attending hearings, mediations and arbitrations
Working directly with partners and clients on litigation and risk management strategy
Candidates should be admitted to the Illinois Bar and have 2 to 5 years of relevant employment litigation or counseling experience. Strong academics, writing, analytical and matter management skills are essential.
This is a strong fit for an attorney who wants sophisticated work, a recognized national platform and a sustainable route for long term development.
