Senior Employment Law Attorney

Job Number: 32642

Salary: $140K – $200K DOE

Industry: Legal

Must Haves:

• 5-7 years of litigation experience, with significant employment law experience required
• Interest in plaintiff-side employment litigation and advocacy
• Oregon Bar membership
• JD

Your New Role:

This established law firm is seeking a Senior Employment Law Attorney to join its litigation team. The firm focuses on plaintiff-side employment litigation, representing employees in matters involving discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wage and hour disputes, and other workplace claims as well as plaintiff-side civil rights, fair housing, and disability rights matters. This opportunity also offers the chance to work closely with a shareholder who has built a nationally recognized franchise law practice and is looking to transition existing work and client relationships to the right attorney. Previous experience in franchise law or the firm’s other niche practice areas is not required; strong employment law experience and a willingness to learn and grow within the practice are far more important.

In this role, you’ll manage cases from intake through resolution, including evaluating claims, developing case strategy, drafting pleadings and motions, conducting discovery, taking and defending depositions, attending mediations and trials, and advising clients on litigation and business matters. You’ll work directly with clients while maintaining significant ownership over your caseload and practice development efforts.

This is a primarily in-office role. However, the firm prioritizes trust and autonomy and offers the flexibility to work from home when necessary.

Your New Organization:

Known for its collaborative and entrepreneurial environment, this firm gives attorneys substantial autonomy while providing access to experienced partners, skilled litigation support staff, and long-established client relationships. Attorneys are encouraged to build their practices, develop business, and pursue long-term growth within the firm.

For an attorney interested in taking on sophisticated litigation work while creating a path toward partnership, this role offers a unique opportunity to step into an established stream of work and play a meaningful role in the firm’s future.

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance with a stipend to cover insurance costs; 401(k) plus match; paid time off; Oregon Paid Leave supplementation; and a transit subsidy.
