Employment and labor law sits at the intersection of business risk and human capital. Law firms practicing in this space need attorneys with command of federal and state statutes, administrative agency processes, workforce counseling, and the evolving landscape of workplace regulation. We connect firms across the country with attorneys who bring that command.
Employment discrimination and harassment defense
Wage and hour class and collective actions
OSHA and workplace safety compliance

We treat every search as a technical compliance check, verifying counseling and litigation experience through a thorough audit of practice history. Our process ensures that candidates possess the precise jurisdictional knowledge required to manage your firm’s most sensitive employment matters.
We target specialists with documented experience in collective bargaining, grievance arbitration, and NLRB proceedings. This niche expertise is rarely found in active candidate pools, so we utilize a proactive sourcing model to identify and engage practitioners with a proven track record in traditional labor relations.
We bypass traditional job boards to reach high-performing attorneys who are currently managing sophisticated caseloads. By focusing on direct, confidential outreach, we connect your firm with established professionals who have the technical proficiency and cultural fit to thrive in your practice environment.
We mitigate hiring risks by aligning a candidate’s historical caseload with your firm’s specific regulatory and compliance standards. Our approach reduces the potential for "trial and error" by ensuring that every attorney we present has a verified footprint in the specific administrative and judicial venues your firm frequents.

Employment and labor law firms trust us because a recruiting firm without deep knowledge of the practice area cannot effectively evaluate candidates. We assess attorneys on their regulatory knowledge, litigation or counseling track record, familiarity with evolving legislation, and ability to serve a firm's specific client base. Every search is led by a consultant who can have a substantive conversation with both the hiring firm and the candidate about what success in the role looks like.
Whether your firm handles management-side defense, plaintiff-side representation, or traditional labor work, we identify and deliver attorneys built for your practice. Contact our employment and labor law recruiting team today to get started.
