THE OPPORTUNITY

A well-regarded plaintiff-side firm is conducting a confidential search for a skilled Employment Attorney to join its New York practice. This is an opportunity for a litigation-focused attorney with meaningful experience handling complex, multi-plaintiff employment matters who is ready to take on high-impact work in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

This firm handles substantive, complex employment litigation — not single-plaintiff discrimination or harassment cases alone. Ideal candidates are passionate about representing workers and have direct experience with the claim types listed below.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Handle plaintiff-side employment litigation with a focus on complex, multi-party matters
• Litigate class actions and wage and hour disputes under New York state and federal law
• Manage cases from intake through resolution — discovery, depositions, motions, and trial prep
• Develop class certification strategies and damages theories
• Collaborate with firm leadership on case strategy and client communications
• Stay current on the New York Labor Law, NYLL wage and hour provisions, and evolving enforcement trends

IDEAL BACKGROUND

• Active New York bar license required
• 3+ years of employment litigation experience — plaintiff-side strongly preferred
• Hands-on experience with class actions and/or wage and hour claims (required)
• Mixed plaintiff/defense backgrounds welcome; purely defense-only backgrounds are less competitive for this role
• Strong written and oral advocacy skills
• Self-directed with the ability to manage multiple active matters

This is a confidential search — all inquiries handled with discretion. Reach out even if you're not actively looking.
