    Description

    Join a Sophisticated Litigation Team – Complex Labor & Employment Associate Opportunity

    Location: Columbus, OH | In-person role

    Aspen Careers is partnering with a highly respected boutique litigation practice to add a Litigation Associate with a strong background in labor and employment law. This is a rare opportunity to work closely with a nationally regarded employment litigator on complex, high-stakes matters involving executive-level clients and major regional and national employers.

    This is not a high-volume plaintiff role. The work is thoughtful, strategic, and writing-intensive—ideal for an associate who values quality over churn and wants meaningful courtroom exposure with real mentorship.

    Why You Should Apply

    • Work on sophisticated employment litigation against large regional and national employers
    • Represent primarily C-suite and executive-level clients, including contract negotiations for senior leadership
    • Be involved in the entire lifecycle of litigation—from demand and preservation letters through trial
    • Draft and manage discovery, prepare for and potentially take depositions, and handle exhibit organization
    • Collaborate closely with the lead attorney on litigation strategy and case development
    • Maintain direct client communication and play a visible role in matters
    • Enjoy a reasonable billable expectation (approximately 1,620 hours annually) with genuine work-life balance

    The Ideal Candidate

    • 3+ years of litigation experience (more is welcome) with a preference for employment law
    • Exceptional legal writing skills—comparable to a former judicial law clerk, big-firm associate, or similarly trained attorney
    • Demonstrated experience handling real litigation (not high-volume or "mill" style work)
    • Comfortable drafting discovery, motions, demand letters, and litigation correspondence independently
    • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
    • Admitted to practice and able to pass a criminal background check (BCI or FBI)
    • A portable book of business is welcome but not required

    About the Firm

    • Boutique employment litigation practice with a stellar reputation
    • Focus on quality, strategy, and professionalism—not volume
    • Collaborative, respectful culture where attorneys and staff genuinely enjoy working together
    • Regular social gatherings, including happy hours and holiday events
    • In-office environment that supports teamwork and mentorship

    What's in It for You?

    • Competitive compensation range: depending on experience
    • Health, dental, and vision insurance (firm pays 75% of employee health premium)
    • 401(k) with safe harbor contribution after one year
    • Employer-paid term life insurance policy
    • Immediate need with a thoughtful, multi-step interview process focused on team fit

    Ready to Take the Next Step?

    If you're a litigation associate who takes pride in strong writing, strategic thinking, and sophisticated legal work—and you're looking for a better quality of life without sacrificing challenge—this is worth a conversation.
