Job Description

Employment Litigation Associate | Manhattan, NY | $190K–$220K | High-Impact Plaintiff Practice & Partner Track

Join a fast-growing, highly respected plaintiff-side employment litigation firm in Manhattan that has built its reputation on fearlessly taking on employers of all sizes and delivering real results for workers. Founded by nationally recognised employment litigators, the firm is known for its aggressive advocacy, strong class action outcomes, and a culture that prioritises impact, integrity, and professional growth. This is a hybrid role (office presence encouraged but flexible) offering meaningful responsibility, courtroom exposure, and a clear path toward partnership for the right attorney.

Why You Should Join:

• Lead High-Value Wage & Hour and Employment Class Actions:
• Take ownership of complex plaintiff-side wage & hour, discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower matters, including class and collective actions. You’ll work on cases from intake through settlement, directly shaping litigation strategy and outcomes rather than supporting from the sidelines.
• Pure Plaintiff-Side Litigation Platform:
• This is a 100% plaintiff-side practice - no defense work, no conflicts. The firm is deeply mission-driven, representing employees in age, gender, race, disability, pregnancy, LGBTQ, and wage theft matters, and has a strong track record resolving class actions efficiently and favorably.

• Accelerated Career Growth & Partner Track:
• Attorneys are trusted early with substantive responsibility and client contact. For proven litigators, there is a clear and realistic path to partnership, with flexibility for senior hires who bring leadership capability or a portable book of business.
• Flexible Hybrid Structure with Autonomy:
• Work from a Manhattan office with a flexible hybrid arrangement tailored to the attorney - not rigid policies. The firm values productivity, ownership, and results over face-time.
• Compensation That Reflects Impact:
• Competitive base salary $190K–$220K, plus benefits and long-term upside aligned with performance, origination, and leadership contribution.

Key Duties:

• Litigate plaintiff-side employment matters, with a primary focus on wage & hour class and collective actions.
• Draft and argue motions, manage discovery, conduct depositions, and negotiate settlements.
• Drive case strategy in discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, whistleblower, and harassment matters.
• Work directly with named plaintiffs and class members from intake through resolution.
• Collaborate closely with firm leadership on litigation strategy, settlement positioning, and case valuation.

Ideal Candidate:

• 5–10 years of plaintiff-side employment litigation experience (wage & hour required).
• Demonstrated experience resolving or contributing meaningfully to class action settlements.
• Strong litigation background with excellent writing, strategy, and negotiation skills.
• Plaintiff mindset with the ability to independently manage cases.
• NY Bar admission required.
• Stable work history and desire for long-term growth within a plaintiff-side platform.
