The firm will be able to provide a degree of file-flow, supplemented by your own partial-book, as well as provide the resources and support expected in a full-service firm.  In addition, with a collegial atmosphere and the desire to expand, the firm is well-positioned to enable you to effect a business plan for continued growth.  Unlike some of its larger competitors, it’s medium size allows it to keep its fees at more modest levels too, thus priming you to grow your client-base by offering competitive services at excellent rates.

Our client, a boutique employment firm, is seeking a senior associate (5-10 years post-Call) to help with the flow of a significant file-load and to act as a mid-level mentor to the more junior associates.  With an impeccable reputation of excellence in the representation of both sophisticated employers and employees, the firm is looking to continue its growth with an experienced associate.
