Bass, Berry & Sims/Nashville, TN

Bass, Berry & Sims' Labor and Employment Practice consists of every aspect of management side labor and employment law, including traditional "labor" work and employment discrimination. We represent a variety of industries, including manufacturing, retail, retail food sales, distribution, utilities, communication, transportation, service, healthcare and education. Our attorneys provide in-house counseling and training to human resource managers, front line managers, and supervisors for our clients on labor and employment matters. Our attorneys work closely with our corporate attorneys on issues that overlap both areas, such as severance pay, downsizing, collective bargaining, COBRA, family leave laws, and age and disability discrimination. We also provide our clients valuable information on best practices, developments and trends in the area of executive compensation. A significant part of our practice is litigation, in federal and state agencies and courts, of labor and employment issues including unlawful discrimination and retaliation claims, wage and hour compliance, breach of employments contracts including non-compete agreements, and unfair labor practice charges.

We are seeking a senior level associate with 6-8 years of solid labor and employment experience for our Nashville office. Must have experience working directly with clients, taking responsibility for case management, preparation and resolution, including trial, mediation and settlement. Traditional labor experience is a plus but is not required. The successful candidate is a self-starter with a strong work ethic and an appetite for business development who prefers a team approach to the practice of law and considers providing excellent service and results to clients their primary goal. Requires excellent written and verbal communication ability and excellent undergraduate and law school academic credentials.
