Seyfarth Shaw LLP, a leader in promoting innovation in the delivery of law firm services, is seeking a mid-level employment law attorney (âCounselâ) to join a single-plaintiff litigation portfolio group. Candidates should have a minimum of 3 to 5 years of increasingly responsible defense-side employment law experience (although more experienced lawyers are certainly encouraged to apply), and be eager to work on a collaborative and innovative team, delivering high-quality work as efficiently as possible. Travel to attend court and agency proceedings in the Hartford, Connecticut area, and occasional travel to our Boston office will be required. License and in good standing in Connecticut required. Candidates with a second license in Massachusetts strongly preferred. Job Description The Counsel role is a full-time, salaried position, designed to be flexible on location, including working from home with access to any of our local offices as needed. This is for lawyers who do not presently seek to be in a partner-track position, but want to continue providing top-quality legal representation for a select group of national clients with a defined volume of matters. Candidates should be comfortable performing mid-level employment defense work (e.g., discovery, legal writing, witness interviews) with minimal oversight and maximum efficiency, including handling appearances before the EEOC or state agencies. A Counsel is responsible for supporting legal matters relating to Single-Plaintiff Litigation and Administrative Charges. Lawyers in this role will handle matters in federal and state courts, and before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as other federal, state, and local administrative agencies. â¢For single-plaintiff litigation, Counsel will, among other things, be able to: draft responsive pleadings; handle all aspects of the discovery process; and draft motions and briefs, including motions for summary judgment. â¢For EEOC (or similar state agency) Charges, Counsel will be able to: interview witnesses, draft/prepare position statements, defend clients in fact-finding conferences and on-site visits, represent clients in mediations and conciliations, and negotiate settlements. We offer an entrepreneurial environment and an excellent opportunity to continue to develop strong skills and grow with a national law firm. At Seyfarth, we value diversity and provide equal opportunities to all qualified applicants.
