Employment Litigation Associate

Livelihood Law represents employees in employment matters like discrimination, retaliation, and wage claims. We are hiring one or more associates with at least three years of plaintiff-side employment litigation experience to join our team. We take cases because they matter, and we litigate them to win. Our attorneys manage their own caseloads from intake through trial, take and defend depositions, brief dispositive motions, and practice in agencies, arbitrations, and state and federal court. You’ll get real mentorship, real responsibility, and a voice in how the firm runs. We’re a small, collaborative firm. We talk through strategy together, back each other up, and enjoy working together. Our attorneys are supported by an office manager, a receptionist, and a paralegal.

3+ years of plaintiff-side employment litigation experience. Strong writing, research, and oral advocacy skills, with experience in discovery, depositions, and summary judgment practice. Trial experience, or a strong desire to get it. A passion for workers’ rights, a collaborative spirit, and the ability to maintain your sense of humor. Wage and hour experience or Spanish fluency is a plus.

Discretionary bonuses based on individual and firm performance. Health, dental, and vision insurance, HSA, and parental leave. Colorado attorney registration, PELA dues, and registration for the annual PELA retreat and other CLEs. Four days a week in our Denver office, one remote day, and flexible hours.
