Employee Benefits Partner

⚡ Employee Benefits Partner (ERISA + IRC) – Nationally Ranked Practice | Well-Respected Full-Service Firm | 8-10+ Years’ Experience | Hybrid

​

​

 🌟 Strategic Role with Leadership Opportunity in a Growing and Ambitious National Practice

​

​

Are you a senior employee benefits attorney or lateral partner looking to elevate your career with a collaborative, people-centered, and highly respected law firm?

​

​

Our client, a nationally respected firm with a strong track record in corporate, transactional, and other emerging practice areas, is seeking a highly experienced attorney to join its Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation practice. This is an excellent opportunity to step into a leadership role, contribute to complex, high-impact work, whilst inspiring the next generation of attorneys and building something meaningful.

​

​

Why This Role Stands Out:

​

​

✅ Deep, Diverse Work – Advise a broad range of clients on retirement plans, executive compensation, and transactional benefits issues, including ERISA, IRC compliance, and M&A due diligence. High quality work.

 ✅ Strategic Impact – Be the go-to resource on a team where your voice matters: shape client strategy, lead initiatives, and help grow the practice.

 ✅ Leadership Opportunity – Ideal for someone looking to take on a senior position with real influence.

 🏠 Hybrid Flexibility – Join from one of several New York State offices with flexible work-from-home options available.

 💼 Comp + Culture – Competitive compensation (up to $450,000), robust benefits, and a genuinely collaborative, people-centered culture.

​

​

Ideal Background:

​

​

• Ideally, 8-10+ years of experience in employee benefits and executive compensation at a law firm or relevant in-house role
•  Deep knowledge of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and related compliance frameworks
•  Exposure to benefits aspects of M&A transactions (due diligence, drafting, negotiations)
•  Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with other practice areas
•  A portable book of business in the employee benefits space is preferred but not required
