Job Title: Associate Attorney

Job Responsibilities:
The associate attorney will join a plaintiff's employment law practice and is expected to be an independent-minded "go-getter" who can contribute to the growth of the practice. This role is not focused on research; instead, the associate will engage in substantive legal work and will soon be responsible for managing the day-to-day progression of their own cases. Key responsibilities include:

- Client contact and communication
- Drafting complaints
- Conducting discovery
- Engaging in law and motion practice
- Defending depositions
- Taking on additional tasks as desired

The position offers mentorship as much as needed, allowing the associate to develop their skills and expertise in employment law.

Education and Experience:
- A Doctor of Law degree is required.
- A valid Bar license is necessary, although candidates awaiting bar results may be considered if they can work while awaiting results.
- Prior employment law experience is a plus but not required.
- Ideal candidates will have 1-3 years of experience, but enterprising and ambitious candidates with less experience are encouraged to apply.

Salary Information:
The position offers a full-time salary ranging from $120,000 to $180,000 per year, depending on experience.

Benefits:
The associate attorney will receive a comprehensive benefits package, including:
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Dental insurance
- Health insurance
- Vision insurance
- Annual bonus
- Coverage of bar dues

Schedule:
The work schedule is Monday to Friday, with the expectation that work will be conducted in person.

Additional Information:
The law firm is eager to hire as soon as possible and encourages applications from candidates who may not have direct employment law experience but demonstrate an enterprising and ambitious spirit. Candidates seeking alternative methods of application or screening should contact the employer directly, as external job platforms are not responsible for the employer's application process.
