The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Serve as a senior legal advisor on workplace matters for a portfolio of business clients, working closely with a partner while holding real autonomy.

- Handle responses to complaints brought by government employment agencies.
- Coach junior attorneys and help with business development and work that spans practice areas.
What we're looking for
- At least 7 years practicing employment law, with a law firm background rather than only in-house roles.
- A law degree and an active bar admission, ideally Texas, though other states may be considered.
- Hands-on experience advising on workforce issues in company acquisitions, including moving employees from one employer to another.
- A track record of preparing and negotiating workplace paperwork such as post-employment restrictions, separation terms and policy manuals.
- Solid grounding in national and state-level workplace regulation.
- Comfort managing clients independently with limited partner supervision.
- A willingness and ability to guide less experienced lawyers.
- Residence in Austin or Dallas, TX, with Austin preferred.
