Attorney

Labor & Employment

Litigation - Foreclosure (Lender-side)

Min 7 yrs required

Profile

Labor and Employment Counsel The candidate will be responsible for leading, managing, and/or supporting legal matters relating to Single-Plaintiff Litigation and Administrative Charges. Will handle matters in federal and state courts, and before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and perhaps the Department of Labor, as well as other federal, state, and local administrative agencies, with minimal oversight. Handle a practice that includes both overseeing EEOC Charges, including defending investigations, preparing position statements, defending clients in fact-finding conferences and on-site visits, representing clients in mediations and conciliations, and negotiating settlements, as well as directly managing single-plaintiff litigation, including drafting responsive pleadings, handling all aspects of the discovery process (including taking and defending depositions), drafting motions and briefs, including motions for summary judgment, attending and handling arbitrations, and, where appropriate, delegating such work to and reviewing the work of more junior attorneys. Occasional travel, both in-state and out-of-state, may be required. Handle and litigate such clients' portfolios within a particular geographic region, in addition to working directly with the relevant relationship partners to foster a stronger client relationship. Will routinely interface directly with clients and firm partners, as well as provide litigation recommendations and develop defense strategy. Must have 7+ years of increasingly responsible employment law experience, preferably on the defense side, for single-plaintiff employment litigation. Should be very comfortable handling a single-plaintiff employment lawsuit from start to finish with minimal oversight.
