Rapidly growing management-side labor and employment law firm seeks a highly motivated Labor & Employment Attorney to support and expand its nationwide private-sector practice. This opportunity is ideal for entrepreneurial attorneys who want substantial responsibility, direct client exposure, meaningful courtroom experience, and the ability to independently manage sophisticated matters rather than operate within a heavily layered institutional environment.

The firm represents employers across a broad range of industries in complex labor relations, employment litigation, workplace investigations, compliance counseling, and strategic business advisory matters. Attorneys will work directly with leadership and clients on high-impact legal issues involving federal, state, and administrative employment laws.

This position offers a unique opportunity for both experienced labor and employment attorneys seeking elevated responsibility and long-term growth, as well as exceptional early-career attorneys with strong litigation aptitude, academic credentials, and a demonstrated interest in management-side employment law.

Responsibilities Include:

• Defending employers in federal and state employment litigation matters involving claims arising under Title VII, ADA, ADEA, FLSA, FMLA, and related state and local employment statutes.

• Handling traditional labor law matters, including collective bargaining negotiations, grievance arbitrations, union avoidance strategies, unfair labor practice proceedings, and NLRB matters.

• Conducting and defending depositions, managing written discovery, drafting dispositive motions, and preparing cases for arbitration, mediation, and trial.

• Drafting EEOC and administrative agency position statements, arbitration briefs, employment agreements, workplace policies, and compliance-related documentation.

• Advising employers on employee relations matters, workplace investigations, disciplinary actions, reductions in force, wage and hour compliance, and risk mitigation strategies.

• Managing client relationships and serving as a strategic advisor to business owners, executives, and HR leadership teams.

Qualifications:

• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school.

• Active license and good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

• 2–12+ years of labor and employment law experience, preferably on the management side, though exceptional entry-level attorneys with strong academic credentials, law review, clerkship, litigation, or employment law internship experience are encouraged to apply.

• Demonstrated legal writing, analytical, advocacy, and oral communication skills.

• Experience or familiarity with employment litigation, labor relations, administrative proceedings, or workplace counseling matters preferred.

• Ability to independently manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced and entrepreneurial legal environment.

• Deposition, hearing, arbitration, mediation, and federal court experience is highly valued for more senior candidates.

• Industry experience involving healthcare, hospitality, transportation, aviation, manufacturing, construction, or multi-state employers is a plus.

• Willingness to travel periodically for hearings, arbitrations, litigation, and client matters.

Compensation & Opportunity:

• Compensation structure designed to be highly competitive with major metropolitan labor and employment markets, with total compensation potential ranging from approximately $180,000–$280,000+ depending on experience, business development capabilities, litigation background, and overall qualifications.

• Opportunity for substantial hands-on litigation experience, direct mentorship, accelerated career growth, and long-term leadership potential within a growing practice.

• Ideal environment for attorneys seeking greater autonomy, meaningful client interaction, and sophisticated legal work without the bureaucracy of a large institutional firm.

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionAbout Base

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

About the Role

Base is looking for electricians to train and be a part of field service crews in Northern Illinois.

This is a pioneering position in Base Power’s expansion beyond Texas, marking our first entry into Illinois. As an electrician in this region, you’ll play a foundational role in shaping our field operations, training new crews, and setting the standard for excellence in service delivery. The ideal candidate brings a builder’s mindset—someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, embraces our mission to create energy abundance, and knows how to turn vision into reality through disciplined execution and strong leadership. This role is not just about technical expertise; it’s about laying the groundwork for long-term success in a new market.

What You’ll Do

Managing the installation of home backup batteries

Troubleshooting and diagnosing field failures

Inspection failure repairs

Onboarding and facilitating training of new installer crews and/or subcontractors

Meeting with inspectors and AHJs (Authority Having Jurisdictions) for inspections and other initiatives

Become a subject matter expert in Base hardware, general electrical principles, and applicable NEC Codes

Respond to on-call duties for emergent electrical issues during nights and weekends on a scheduled, rotational basis

What You'll Bring

Active Electrician license via a written examination in Northern Illinois

Experience with installation or maintenance battery back up systems, EV chargers, PV systems, or whole home generators preferred

Availability to onboard, train, and observe battery system installation near Base’s manufacturing & operations HQ in Austin, Texas. We anticipate this in person onboarding to take around 30 days

About this Team
The Field Operations team serves as the tactical engine of Base’s mission, solving the "last mile" challenge of grid modernization by physically integrating distributed storage systems into aging infrastructure. As the leader of our inaugural Northern Illinois unit, you will not only execute installations but will define the operational playbook for a critical new market, bridging the gap between cutting-edge hardware and rigorous electrical codes. This work goes beyond standard electrical service; you are establishing the safety and quality benchmarks that will allow us to scale a decentralized power network across the Midwest. We are looking for an electrician who is ready to transition from maintaining the status quo to architecting the workforce that secures the future of American energy.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.

Our Values

First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.

Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.

Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.

Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.

Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.

Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.

Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.
