Description:

A National Law Firm's Labor + Employment practice group seeks to hire an associate with 2 to 4 years' experience in employment related matters, to be based in our Chicago office. Candidates must have had meaningful responsibility for employment-related counseling, transactional drafting, and litigation matters (single plaintiff and collective/class actions), including issues involving, hiring and separation, wage and hour, EEO, non-compete and trade secrets, employment policies, agreements and handbook reviews, due diligence for corporate transactions, employee accommodations and leave issues, investigations, and other employment law issues. There is a strong preference for candidates with some traditional labor experience including having worked with union-related issues, NLRB matters, labor arbitrations, and collective bargaining agreements.

Successful candidates will have strong academic backgrounds and be able to demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills, including strong public speaking skills, meticulous attention to detail, ensuring accuracy, thoroughness, and compliance in all legal matters.

Candidates must be admitted to the Illinois State bar in good standing.
