Job description

Labor & Employment Practice · 4–5 Years Experience · NJ & NY Bar Required For a mid-level employment attorney in Northern New Jersey, the career trajectory often feels split: you either head into Manhattan for high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional defense work, or you stay in New Jersey for a more manageable lifestyle but smaller regional matters. This role within a premier Am Law 50 firm's Florham Park office removes that compromise. You will step into a sophisticated, partner-track position managing major defense litigation and strategic counseling across both the New York and New Jersey markets, backed by the deep resources of a national elite practice. The Work You will join a cross-office team that operates seamlessly across a national footprint. Instead of being isolated in a regional silo, you will actively collaborate on high-value matters, moving past routine document review to take true ownership of files: Defending sophisticated employers in high-stakes discrimination, harassment, whistleblower, and wage-and-hour litigation before state and federal courts and administrative agencies. Providing direct advice and counseling to corporate clients on complex compliance matters, employment policies, and risk mitigation strategies. Drafting pivotal dispositive motions, taking and defending substantive depositions, and driving key strategic decisions throughout the lifecycle of defense cases. Who This Is For This role is specifically calibrated for a technically precise, mid-level litigator ready for a structured path toward partnership. The Dedicated Employment Associate: You have 4 to 5 years of solid, defense-oriented labor and employment experience, excellent writing skills, and you want to elevate your practice on an elite Am Law platform without the Manhattan commute. The Complex Commercial Litigator: If you have spent your associate years handling sophisticated commercial litigation in New York or New Jersey but have a strong foundation in restrictive covenants, executive departures, or employment-adjacent disputes and want to fully anchor your career in an elite employer-side practice, the firm values your transferable courtroom and analytical skills. Active admission to practice in both New Jersey and New York is strictly required. The Platform The firm stands as a powerhouse in the national legal landscape, recognized for its commitment to true institutional collaboration and client service. This is a highly collaborative environment where partners actively invest in mid-level associate development, providing clear performance metrics and real integration into national client relationships. The firm has designed a modern, balanced workspace structured around a defined three-day in-office schedule, ensuring you get the mentorship, visibility, and relationship‑building critical for partnership advancement while maintaining meaningful personal flexibility. Compensation and Benefits Base Salary: $245,000 – $265,000 (Exact initial placement within this range is dependent upon relevant skills, training, and experience). Bonus Structure: Eligibility for both productivity and discretionary performance‑based bonuses that significantly enhance total compensation. Benefits: A comprehensive, premium corporate benefits package, including top‑tier medical, dental, vision, life, accident, and disability insurance; a 401(k) retirement plan with profit‑sharing components; generous paid time off and parental leave; and a dedicated firm budget for continuing legal education (CLE) and professional development. #J-18808-Ljbffr
