What we're looking for:
We are seeking a management-side Labor & Employment Associate with 3-5 years of experience for our Denver office.

What you'll do:
- Manage a diverse caseload of employment litigation matters, including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage & hour cases.
- Take ownership of discovery processes, including drafting and responding to discovery requests, and conducting depositions.
- Work closely with clients to provide strategic counsel on a wide range of employment issues, including drafting policies and employee handbooks.
- Draft and argue motions, prepare for hearings, and represent clients in court and before administrative agencies like the EEOC.
- Advise employers on compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws.
- Contribute to a busy and growing practice group with a steady stream of sophisticated work.
