Note that under the terms of the Firm’s Partnership Agreement, non-equity Partners are not required to make any capital contribution, are not liable for the Firm’s debts or obligations, are not eligible to share in the profits of the partnership, and are not asked to sign a partnership agreement; equity Partners have final authority on all partnership matters.

About the Role

The Firm enjoys a strong national reputation for representing employees, independent contractors, executives and whistleblowers in all areas of employment law—from representing senior executives in contract negotiations, to protecting individuals’ civil rights in the workplace, to combating worker exploitation and systemic discrimination in class action and impact litigation and putting hundreds of millions of dollars in the hands of wronged individuals with historic SEC and IRS whistleblower awards. We take pride in our decision to represent employees as advocates for workplace fairness. More recently, the Firm has branched out into new cutting-edge consumer digital-discrimination litigation involving major social media platforms.
