About the role

We're a full-service business law firm serving clients from startups to Fortune 1000 companies, with a national reputation for sophisticated corporate, IP, and litigation work — including a top-ranked venture capital practice.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with the firm's corporate and transactional teams on employment-related due diligence and compliance matters.
• Handle substantive employment litigation matters with real client contact early in your career.
• Collaborate with corporate attorneys on employment law due diligence for M&A and investment transactions.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of litigation experience.
• Strong writing and advocacy skills.
• Experience representing employers is a plus.
