Job Description

Jones Walker, a national law firm with more than 300 lawyers and offices in Alabama, Arizona, DC, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, and Texas, has an immediate opening for an associate to join the Labor & Employment practice group.

The associate will represent sophisticated firm clients on a variety of employment related matters. The candidate should have at least 2-4 years of prior associate-level experience analyzing, advising and litigating labor and employment matters at the state and federal level. This associate practice includes defending employers in state and federal court on both a class and individual basis with respect to wage and hour compliance, trade secret violations, employment discrimination and harassment, leave and disability laws, along with other labor and employment issues.

The candidate will be expected to manage caseload independently and responsibly, as well as work closely with other attorneys, team members, and partners on cases. Strong communication and problem solving skills are required.

Interested candidates should submit a resume, cover letter, and transcript to Sarah Cunningham at [email protected].

The hiring department will conduct interviews of qualified individuals prior to requesting a criminal background check, and no job application submitted prior to such interview shall inquire into an applicant's criminal history. If this position is subject to a background check for any convictions related to its responsibilities and requirements, employment will be contingent upon successful completion of a background investigation including criminal history. Criminal history will not automatically disqualify a candidate.
