Job Description

Join a dynamic litigation and advisory firm that combines big-firm sophistication with small-firm collaboration and accessibility. This respected, mid-sized team offers an exceptional platform for experienced labor and employment attorneys ready to take the next step in their careers.

Based in Cedar Grove, New Jersey , this position is ideal for a confident litigator who thrives on autonomy, client engagement, and hands-on case strategy. You'll manage a diverse docket of employment litigation matters—including discrimination, harassment, and wage-and-hour disputes—while working closely with a team recognized by Best Law Firms® (2025) and Chambers USA for excellence in Labor & Employment Law.

What You'll Do

  • Represent employers in state and federal courts, as well as before administrative agencies
  • Handle all phases of litigation—from discovery through trial or resolution
  • Advise clients on workplace policies, compliance, and dispute avoidance
  • Collaborate with a team of seasoned litigators while maintaining independent control of your caseload
  • Engage in direct client communication and strategy development

What You Bring

  • Active New York Bar membership (New Jersey Bar preferred or willingness to obtain)
  • Strong background in labor and employment defense litigation
  • Demonstrated success in handling discrimination, harassment, and workplace disputes
  • Excellent written and oral advocacy skills
  • Self-sufficient, organized, and proactive approach to managing cases
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary : $150,000 – $200,000+
  • Bonuses :

  • Year-end discretionary bonus
  • Additional monthly bonus opportunity based on billable performance
  • Benefits Include :

  • 80% employer-paid medical insurance (effective the first day of the month after hire)
  • 18 days of PTO / sick time
  • 7 paid holidays + 1 floating holiday
  • 401(k) with firm sponsorship
  • Life and long-term disability insurance
  • Work Environment

    This role is primarily in-office in Cedar Grove, NJ , with flexibility for ad hoc remote days. You'll join a collaborative, inclusive culture that values mentorship, diversity, and trial-readiness. The firm supports professional development through programs like the Women of OS initiative and its Seton Hall Law trial advocacy partnership, empowering attorneys to grow as leaders and advocates.
