Hiring: Associate Attorney - Executive Compensation & Employee Benefits (2-7 Years)
Locations: Austin | Boston | Chicago | Houston | Los Angeles | New York | Orange County | San Diego | San Francisco | Silicon Valley | Washington, D.C.
This is a unique chance to join a Chambers-ranked Executive Compensation & Employee Benefits group at one of the most prestigious global law firms, consistently ranked among the AmLaw Top 20.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Direct Mentorship: Work alongside one of the world's leading attorneys in this practice, gaining unparalleled insight and guidance.
- Prestige & Platform: Advise Fortune 500 companies and major institutions on complex employment matters tied to high-profile transactions.
- Career Trajectory: Proven track record of fast partner paths and access to exclusive in-house opportunities with top clients. Including a Confidential Counseling Group that helps attorneys strategically transition in-house with clients, a unique offering that reflects the firm's commitment to long-term career development.
- Culture of Excellence: A collaborative, tenured team known for loyalty and unmatched mentorship. A collaborative, non-cutthroat culture that defies the typical big law stereotype, here, you'll find support, mentorship, and room to grow. Access to global resources and high-caliber work, without sacrificing a healthy team dynamic.
The Role:
- Provide labor & employment support in M&A and corporate transactions.
- Counsel employers on all aspects of the employment relationship.
- Draft and negotiate employment agreements, restrictive covenants, separation agreements, and related documents.
Ideal Candidate:
