Litigation Associate Attorney

We are seeking a talented Litigation Associate Attorney to join our premier federal employment practice group. We represent clients in a wide array of civil and administrative litigation and other legal proceedings arising out of the workplace.  

A unique employment defense practice representing both individuals and employers. With an emphasis on public employment, our individual clients come from across the Executive Branch, including executives, law enforcement, attorneys, and medical professionals. We assist public and private employers with difficult and high-profile personnel matters, litigation defense, and conducting workplace investigations. We litigate cases before federal district and appellate courts, including novel questions of statutory and constitutional interpretation, and before federal administrative agencies.
