Job Description

A leading national labor and employment law firm is seeking an Employment Litigation Associate to join its Denver office, supporting both Colorado and California employment litigation matters. This role offers hands-on responsibility across the full lifecycle of employment litigation, exposure to sophisticated clients, and the opportunity to work with multiple partners in a nationally recognized labor and employment practice. The position is ideal for an attorney who enjoys autonomy, thrives in a collaborative environment, and wants to deepen their practice within a firm known for strong mentorship, cutting-edge resources, and a people-first culture. The firm is looking for a proactive, self-starting litigator who is confident managing cases, eager to take ownership of their work, and motivated to grow within a supportive but high-performing team.

This role is well-suited for an employment litigator who wants meaningful responsibility, strong partner support, and the credibility of a nationally respected platform, without the rigid, impersonal feel of traditional Big Law. Apply now!
