Attorney Position at Getman Sweeney

Getman Sweeney is seeking an attorney to assist in handling the firm’s growing litigation practice. The firm represents employees only, primarily in overtime pay, minimum wage, and other wage violation cases. We handle individual, class and collective actions throughout the U.S. Most of our litigation is in federal court. We regularly sue multi-national and Fortune 500 companies, as well as smaller companies and governments. The firm operates on a legal-services model. We accept all litigation on a contingency basis. We also advance all costs. This enables us to represent a sizable low and middle income population. The firm is proud to handle many cases for undocumented and documented immigrants. The firm is family-friendly and thrives on a collegial, team-based litigation approach. We are four attorneys and six paralegals working out of a circa 1790 Dutch stone house in New Paltz, NY, a small but diverse community set between the Shawangunk Ridge of the Appalachian Mountains and the Hudson River. New Paltz is adjacent to thousands of acres of premier nature preserves and state parks offering some of the best hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, and other outdoor activities on the East Coast. We are also within an hour and a half of New York City and Albany. Getman & Sweeney is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any applicant on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, disability, political belief, marital or familial status, age, or sexual orientation. We value diversity. Spanish fluency would be helpful, but is not required. Applicants need a strong commitment to righting wrongs, strong writing and research skills, strong stand up and communication skills, and an ability to navigate complex litigation procedure. Strong interpersonal skills are also required to work with our team and our diverse clients. Compensation includes salary and commission depending on experience, health insurance and other benefits.
