Associate

Murphy Anderson PLLC is an innovative public-interest law firm seeking a litigation associate for its office in Washington, DC. Our firm was formed on Labor Day 2008 to represent unions, employee-benefit funds, and workers seeking justice.

We represent national and local unions in all sectors of the economy, with a particular focus on helping workers organize. We represent unions in federal and state courts, in administrative proceedings at the NLRB and elsewhere, and in arbitrations.

We also have a significant docket of wage-and-hour cases, aggressively representing mostly low-wage and immigrant workers who have suffered wage theft, through collective and class actions.

Our whistleblower practice fights fraud in health care, military procurement, and construction using the False Claims Act and similar SEC and IRS programs.

The successful candidate will be an excellent writer with strong academic credentials and a demonstrated commitment to workers' rights and public service. Successful associates must have the ability to excel and multitask in a fast-paced in-person office environment, across all aspects of the firm’s labor and litigation practice.

Federal judicial clerkship and law journal experience are favored, as is Spanish-language proficiency. Our ideal candidate would have 1-4 years of experience. Salary range is between $87k and $111k, or more depending on relevant experience, plus excellent benefits.

Applicants should send a cover letter, resume, reference list, and law school transcript to Mark Hanna, mhanna@murphypllc.com.
