Job Description

MRA Search is partnering with a highly regarded boutique law firm in Chicago that represents employers in a wide range of employment defense litigation and counseling matters .

The firm is seeking a mid-level Employment Litigation Attorney (3–7 years) to join its collaborative team. This is an opportunity to work closely with experienced partners on complex, high-stakes defense matters while maintaining the hands-on involvement and balance that larger firms rarely provide.

The successful candidate will handle single-plaintiff and class action defense cases involving discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage and hour claims, as well as day-to-day counseling on compliance, investigations, and policy development.

This position is ideal for an attorney who wants to:

  • Move away from the hierarchy and long hours of BigLaw,
  • Take ownership of cases and client relationships,
  • Work in a collegial, team-driven environment,
  • Continue doing sophisticated defense work without sacrificing work-life balance.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage all phases of employment defense litigation from discovery through trial
  • Draft and argue motions in federal and state court
  • Advise and defend corporate clients before administrative agencies
  • Support clients with compliance and risk mitigation strategies

Qualifications:

  • 3–7 years of employment litigation experience (defense preferred)
  • Strong legal writing and analytical skills
  • Illinois Bar admission required
  • Excellent communication and client-handling skills

This is a rare opportunity to join a reputable Chicago boutique that combines high-caliber defense work with a genuinely supportive culture.

💼 Compensation: Competitive base salary, bonus potential, and full benefits
