Performance-based bonus structure that rewards your impact and contributions

Location
This role is based on-site at one of three exciting locations — Jersey City, NJ, Wayne, PA, or our upcoming Washington, D.C. office. While some flexibility exists, this is a team that thrives in person and moves fast together.

Candidates must have 5+ years of federal court FLSA litigation experience with substantive, hands‑on case management. This is a non‑negotiable requirement. Active bar admission in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction is required. Multi‑state admission is a strong plus.

We are a Confidential Employer — an aggressive, methodical litigation firm with a nationally recognized track record handling complex plaintiff‑side litigation, including wage and hour class actions, whistleblower cases, False Claims Act matters, and commercial litigation. Our team has tried cases to verdict in state and federal courts across the country, and we interface with the Department of Justice on select matters. We move fast, we fight hard, and we win. If you want a litigation career with real stakes and real impact, this is your firm.
Job Description
Lead FLSA collective actions and Rule 23 class actions from intake through resolution, managing all phases of federal court litigation
Conduct fact investigations and client interviews in collaboration with our intake team to build strong, well‑developed cases from day one
Draft and argue pleadings, motions, pretrial submissions, and discovery across multiple jurisdictions
Take and defend depositions and represent clients at court hearings and oral arguments
Develop damages models alongside experts and consultants to maximize recovery for clients
Drive strategic settlement discussions, including mediation and direct negotiation with opposing counsel
Contribute to firm thought leadership through articles, CLEs, and webinars that raise your profile and the firm's
Manage a dynamic caseload with urgency and strategic precision, working independently while collaborating with a high‑performing team

J.D. with active bar admission in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (multi‑state strongly preferred)
5+ years of substantive federal court FLSA litigation experience — plaintiff‑side or in‑house/solo backgrounds welcome for the right candidate
Demonstrated experience with collective certification, class certification, and class motion practice
Exceptional legal writing, research, and oral advocacy skills
Strong ability to manage complex caseloads independently while working collaboratively
Willingness and ability to handle cases nationwide
