Labor & Employment Attorney — Associate - Philadelphia, PA / Voorhees, NJ
Archer & Greiner, P.C. (“Archer”) is seeking a Labor & Employment Associate to join our Philadelphia or Voorhees office. You will handle substantive management-side matters from day one, working directly with partners and clients while developing the skills and relationships that form the foundation of a successful practice. This is an opportunity to do sophisticated, meaningful work while building a practice with genuine firmwide support, investment in your professional growth, and a clear path toward partnership.
Our Labor & Employment Practice Group represents employers ranging from closely held businesses to large enterprises in virtually every industry. We serve as trusted management-side counsel in both contentious disputes and the proactive guidance that helps clients anticipate and avoid them. Our practice groups are integrated firmwide, rather than organized around individual offices, giving you the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across the firm's regional footprint and serve a diverse client base.
On the litigation side, our attorneys handle matters from responding to initial administrative charges through discovery, motion practice, and trial in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies, as well as arbitration proceedings and workplace investigations. On the counseling side, we guide clients through the full employment lifecycle, including hiring practices, workplace policies, discipline, terminations, and the agreements and handbooks that protect employers before disputes arise.
What We Are Looking For
- Four or more years of management-side labor and employment experience, including experience handling employment litigation and providing day-to-day employment counseling; candidates with plaintiff-side employment law experience will also be considered
- Strong analytical, research, writing, and communication skills, with the ability to manage matters with increasing independence.
- An interest in client development and building lasting professional relationships.
- Admission to the New Jersey Bar required; Pennsylvania Bar admission a plus.
What We Offer
- Competitive base compensation of $165,000 to $180,000, commensurate with experience, plus objective bonuses up to $25,000 for billable hours, in addition to origination bonuses that recognize both your productivity and your business development efforts.
- A comprehensive benefits package: medical insurance, a 401(k) plan with profit sharing, paid time off, short- and long-term disability, life insurance, and paid parental leave.
- A firmwide business development platform featuring dedicated one-on-one coaching, referral network introductions, and funded support for client entertainment, networking, and professional association activities, complemented by marketing and communications support for events, media relations, publicity, and LinkedIn and professional profile development.
If you are looking for a firm where the work is substantive, the culture is collaborative, and the investment in your growth is genuine, we would like to hear from you.
