Senior Employment Attorney

We are looking for a Senior Employment Attorney with 10+ years of experience to help lead and grow the employment practice at a top-ranked boutique venture capital law firm. You'll be joining a highly profitable, entrepreneurial platform where you can build your practice with real support, flexible billable targets, and a clear path to partnership.

What will you be doing?

• Advising companies and C-suite executives on employment matters, separation negotiations, and equity incentives
• Counseling on restrictive covenants, non-competes, and employment issues across multiple US jurisdictions (especially NY and CA)
• Supporting employment-related matters arising from the firm's venture capital and emerging company practice
• Drafting and revising employment agreements, separation agreements, offer letters, demand letters, and restrictive covenant agreements
• Handling employment litigation in state/federal courts, agency proceedings, arbitrations, and mediations as needed

Key Requirements

• Deep knowledge of employment law across the US, particularly New York and California
• Some level of portable business (even $300K-$400K is a "home run") — or demonstrated potential to develop one in the right environment
• Experience advising both companies and executives on separations, restrictive covenants, and employment strategy
• Admitted to and in good standing with the New York Bar
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to grow a practice, not just service existing work
