Job Description

We are looking to identify a Labor & Employment Attorney with an existing book of business to join our well-known client’s growing practice in New York.

This opportunity is ideal for an attorney looking for a strong platform to support and expand an existing client base, while also collaborating with a firm that handles a mix of employment advisory and litigation matters.

Position: Labor & Employment Attorney (Lateral)

About the Role

This role is designed for an experienced attorney who brings portable business and is seeking a firm that offers flexibility, resources, and a collaborative environment to support continued growth.

The practice includes a balance of day-to-day employment counseling and litigation, allowing attorneys to maintain a diverse and sustainable client portfolio.

Practice Focus

• Employment counseling and general advisement
• Wage & hour and compliance matters
• Employment agreements, policies, and risk management
• Employment litigation (single plaintiff and complex matters)
• Workplace investigations and dispute resolution

Responsibilities

• Manage and grow an existing book of business
• Provide strategic employment law counsel to clients
• Handle employment-related litigation matters as needed
• Draft and review employment agreements, policies, and related documents
• Develop and maintain strong client relationships
• Collaborate with firm leadership on practice growth and expansion

Qualifications

• 5+ years of labor & employment experience
• Experience with both advisory and litigation matters
• Portable book of business required
• Strong client-facing and relationship management skills
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a team environment
• New York Bar admission required

Compensation & Structure

• Highly competitive compensation based on book of business
• Flexible structure designed to support practice growth and profitability
• Bonus opportunities tied to origination and production
• Full benefits package
• Platform with strong operational and administrative support

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Strong platform for lateral attorneys with existing clients
• Balance of advisory + litigation work
• Collaborative environment with flexibility and autonomy
• Opportunity to expand and grow a practice long-term
• Supportive infrastructure without unnecessary bureaucracy
