Job Description

Job DescriptionAssociate Counsel Litigation | World-Class Organization | Exceptional Culture & Benefits
A world-renowned organization with a reputation for excellence, integrity, and people-first culture is seeking creating a new Associate Counsel position, to join its high-performing legal team. This is a rare opportunity to work in a sophisticated, collaborative in-house environment where legal is viewed as a strategic partner to the business—not a back-office function.
This role is ideal for experienced in-house counsel looking to elevate their impact, or law firm attorneys (particularly those with litigation or employment law backgrounds) who are ready to transition into a dynamic, mission-driven organization offering work-life balance without sacrificing complexity or challenge.
The RoleReporting to senior legal leadership, the Associate Counsel will provide practical, solutions-oriented legal advice across a broad range of matters, supporting a complex enterprise with multiple affiliated entities.What You’ll Do

• Provide legal research, analysis, and strategic guidance on employment, compliance, risk management, contracts, and litigation matters
• Represent the organization in administrative proceedings and agency matters, and partner closely with outside counsel on litigation
• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide variety of agreements and operational documents
• Develop and advise on internal policies and procedures impacting organizational operations
• Serve as a trusted advisor to cross-functional stakeholders including HR, finance, leadership, and professional staff
• Respond to subpoenas, regulatory inquiries, and information requests
• Support enterprise-wide initiatives and special projects led by senior legal leadership

What We’re Looking For

• Strong working knowledge of state and federal employment law
• Excellent judgment with the ability to deliver clear, practical, business-focused legal advice
• Proven drafting, negotiation, and issue-spotting skills
• Ability to collaborate effectively with professionals across all levels of the organization
• Experience in one or more of the following areas is highly valued:
  • Employment and labor matters
  • Workers’ compensation
  • Corporate governance
  • Physician or professional contracting
  • Immigration
  • Consent and regulatory issues involving minors
• Familiarity with healthcare regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, Stark, Anti-Kickback, False Claims, Medicare/Medicaid) is a plus

Qualifications

• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
• Licensed to practice law (or eligible for licensure) in Ohio
• Minimum of 5 years of litigation experience; employment-focused experience strongly preferred
• Prior in-house experience is a plus, but not required—strong firm attorneys are encouraged to apply
• Experience working with insurers or risk pools is advantageous

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Highly competitive compensation, including bonus eligibility
• Outstanding benefits package
• A nationally respected organization with an exceptional culture
• Collegial, forward-thinking legal team with direct access to leadership
• Meaningful work, long-term stability, and a sustainable pace
