MANAGEMENT-SIDE EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY
Omaha, NE | Full-time | In-Office
\-------------------------------------------------------------
COMPENSATION
Base: $120,000--$150,000
\-------------------------------------------------------------
WHY THIS ROLE
This is a genuine practice-building opportunity at a stable, 100+ attorney regional firm in Omaha — not joining an established employment department, but serving as its founding dedicated attorney with direct partner mentorship and full backing of an established litigation platform. The firm has consistent Super Lawyers recognition across its practice groups and a strong presence in the Nebraska business and litigation community. For a management-side employment attorney who wants real ownership over a practice rather than associate-level work within a large structure, this is a structurally different opportunity than most of what's available in the market.
\-------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll handle both litigation and counseling for employer clients: representing management in wrongful termination, discrimination, and harassment cases; advising on federal and state employment law compliance; drafting policies, handbooks, and employment agreements; and handling EEOC and Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission proceedings. You'll also advise on internal employment issues within the firm itself. Direct partner mentorship throughout.
