Job Description

Colorado has passed more employer-side law in five years than most states pass in twenty — pay transparency, the POWR Act, the non-compete overhaul — and the Denver employment litigators who know it cold have more work than their groups can staff.


An AmLaw 100 firm with a national labor & employment practice is hiring an employment litigation associate (2–5 years) in Denver. Base salary $210K–$260K depending on experience, plus bonus eligibility.


You'd take a real piece of every matter from the position statement through trial — class and collective actions, single-plaintiff cases, and agency charges — with depositions, motions, and arbitrations at your level, and counseling work for HR and executive clients as you grow into it.


The work includes:


  • Wage and hour class and collective actions under the FLSA and Colorado wage law
  • Single-plaintiff discrimination, retaliation, and harassment litigation under Title VII, the ADA, the FMLA, and CADA
  • EEOC and Colorado Civil Rights Division charges, position statements, and mediations
  • Employment counseling, compliance under Colorado's pay transparency and POWR Act regimes, and drafting employment and restrictive covenant agreements


What you bring:


  • 2–5 years of labor & employment litigation experience at a firm
  • Deposition, discovery, and motion practice reps in employment matters
  • Strong writing and attention to detail; strong academics
  • Colorado bar admission or the ability to waive in


What you get:


  • An expanding Denver group inside a national platform, so the case flow doesn't depend on one office's client base
  • A defense-side employment practice that stays busy in every economic cycle and travels well across markets
  • Base salary $210K–$260K depending on experience, plus bonus eligibility and a full benefits package
