If you want the freedom to grow at a firm that is invested in your future, keep reading. 

THE OPPORTUNITY: 

We have an exciting opportunity for an Associate with at least 3 years of  litigation experience who will become a member of the firm's ADA Title III Team, a specialty group within the Labor & Employment Department.  Strong litigation skills are a must, and substantive experience with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act and/or equivalent state laws is a plus (but not absolutely necessary).  The Associate can be based out of either our California or Washington, D.C. offices.

THE DAY-TO-DAY: 

You will be a part of the firm's ADA Title III Team— a group of collegial attorneys nationwide who are some of the top practitioners and subject matter experts in the nation on Title III and other federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities in public accommodations.  The Team handles a significant share of the more than 12,000 federal ADA Title III lawsuits filed each year, some involving the most cutting edge issues in this practice area.  Your work will include defending lawsuits brought against our Fortune 500 clients in ADA Title III litigation hotspots, with a focus on federal and state courts, counseling clients on compliance matters, and responding to DOJ and agency investigations into alleged discriminatory practices. 

As part of the ADA Title III Team, you'll have the opportunity to work on interesting, challenging, and groundbreaking cases, typically directly with one of the three partners on the Team.  This means you will learn from the best.  You will also interact regularly with the other attorneys as part of this close knit and supportive group.

YOU MUST HAVE: 

• Excellent academic credentials, analytical skills, and verbal and written skills required;
  
• Admission to the California or Washington, D.C. Bar (required); 
• Strong litigation experience (e.g. writing, analysis, research, communication);
• Experience with single plaintiff and/or class action lawsuits arising under Title III of the ADA and related state disability access laws preferred;
• Willingness to come into the office three days a week, or more if required.

WHAT WE PROVIDE: 

We provide competitive salary and benefits at all levels. For associates, we provide comprehensive training through our mentoring programs, CLE initiatives, Seyfarth University, industry credentialing, and hands-on learning by working side-by-side with our partners. 

We are also proud to be an influential leader in inclusion and diversity. The firm has been recognized for our efforts by the Human Rights Campaign, the Minority Corporate Counsel Association, and Seramount (formerly Working Mother magazine). We are Mansfield 5.0 certified, a reflection of our ongoing commitment to advancing candidates from underrepresented groups.
