Labor & Employment Associate Attorney (Part-Time)

A full-service AmLaw 100 firm is seeking a part-time attorney to join its Labor & Employment Practice in its Akron, Ohio office. The role primarily involves handling employment law matters on behalf of private and carrier clients, with potential for some commercial litigation.

The ideal candidate will be admitted to practice in Ohio and have at least one to seven years of experience in employment law. Prior employment litigation experience is required, preferably on the management side, and employment counseling or in-house employment law experience is preferred. This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys who can proactively manage files and deadlines and who are passionate about assuming a high-level role providing legal service within a sophisticated practice.

This part-time role (with full-time potentially considered) requires extensive contact with clients, governmental agencies, and opposing counsel, making it ideal for an experienced lawyer who desires meaningful work in a flexible atmosphere. The firm's Labor & Employment Practice represents clients from coast to coast in all phases and types of employment litigation, counseling, and training.

Qualified candidates will be comfortable drafting and responding to discovery and initial pleadings, drafting and arguing motions, as well as taking and defending depositions. Candidates must have strong writing and analytical skills and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. The successful candidate will be a self-starter with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
