Employment Litigation Attorney - Richmond Office

At Sands Anderson PC, we believe strong teams build stronger client relationships. We are looking for an Employment Litigation Attorney with at least five years of experience to join our Labor & Employment group in Richmond.

This role is about more than handling cases. It is about being a trusted advisor to employers who count on us for clear guidance and strong advocacy. It is about joining colleagues who enjoy working together, sharing ideas, and building something lasting. And it is about bringing your own perspective and practice to a place where you will be supported and respected.

What the work looks like

You will partner with public and private employers on a wide range of workplace issues. Some days you will be in the courtroom. Other days you will be drafting policies, advising leaders, or standing before an agency. No matter the task, you will have the freedom to lead your matters while knowing you are backed by a team that values collaboration and trust.

What we hope you bring

• At least five years of labor and employment law experience, including litigation.
• A Virginia law license (North Carolina admission is a plus).
• Strong writing, advocacy, and counseling skills.
• An entrepreneurial spirit and interest in building relationships.
• A portable book of business of around $150,000, or a clear plan for developing one.
