Overview
Associate Litigation Attorney (Employment/Plaintiff) Jobs in Remote at Thompson & Skrabanek, PLLC
Full Job Description
We are a small, collegial law firm based in midtown Manhattan. We are searching for an attorney who can assist with our growing employment litigation practice, particularly with plaintiff-side cases. This is an hourly role with potential to grow into a salaried / full-time position. It’s a great opportunity for a goal-oriented lawyer looking to transition their practice or to achieve litigation mastery. There would be an opportunity to work in our office in midtown, but it would not be required.
The right candidate will have the following credentials:
A JD from a well-regarded law school.
Must be a member in good standing of the New York bar (SDNY/EDNY admission a plus but not a strict requirement).
High level of competence with computers and digital systems used by attorneys.
Strong academic background and research/writing skills.
Credentials aside, here are the critical attributes that will define top candidates for this role:
#1 – Initiative: Must be prepared to independently manage settlement negotiations, complex drafting projects, a litigation calendar, and client interactions. Our partners will help you develop the necessary skills but you will be expected to aspire to (and eventually attain) a significant level of independence.
#2 – Resourcefulness: Must bring intellectual curiosity and problem-solving skills to the table. You will need to master the facts of your case and to learn the law as you go.
#3 – Efficiency: To litigate employment cases effectively, you must be capable of efficiently creating polished and presentable work product.
If this sounds like you, please include your cover letter in the body of your email and attach a resume. Make sure to note your law school and date of graduation, and to highlight experience relevant to the requirements above.
