Join The Law Firm That Fights For Employees

At Spitz, The Employee’s Law Firm, we do more than practice employment law—we stand up for people during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Employees come to us after being harassed, discriminated against, retaliated against, underpaid, or wrongfully fired. We help them fight back.

As one of the nation’s leading employee-side employment law firms, we’ve built a reputation for aggressive advocacy, meaningful results, and exceptional client service. With offices in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Texas, and North Carolina, we continue to grow—and we are looking for motivated Attorneys to join our teams in Independence, Columbus, and Cincinnati, Ohio.

If you want courtroom experience, real responsibility, hands-on litigation, and work that actually matters, this is the place to build your career.

Why Attorneys Choose Spitz

This is not a place where young attorneys spend years buried in document review waiting for an opportunity. From the beginning, you will work directly with clients, develop a strategy, take depositions, negotiate cases, and build litigation skills that many attorneys never get to develop.

At Spitz, you will:

Handle meaningful employment cases that make a real difference in people’s lives
Work directly with clients from day one
Gain substantial litigation and courtroom experience
Learn from experienced trial attorneys who are invested in your growth
Be part of a collaborative, high-performing team
Advance based on your work ethic, results, and ability—not office politics or seniority

We work hard, support each other, and genuinely enjoy what we do. The culture here is fast-paced, team-oriented, and mission-driven.

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for attorneys who are:

Passionate about advocating for employees
Empathetic, client-focused, and emotionally intelligent
Strong communicators and persuasive advocates
Hardworking, organized, and self-motivated
Eager to develop litigation, deposition, and trial skills
Able to thrive in a fast-moving environment

Employment law experience is a plus, but it is not required. We care far more about drive, judgment, work ethic, and commitment to helping people than GPA or class rank. Spitz, The Employee’s Law Firm, is hiring an Employee Rights Litigation Attorney for our Independence, Ohio office, serving clients throughout the Cleveland and Akron areas.

This role is for an attorney who wants more than a desk job. Clients come to us after being wrongfully terminated, sexually harassed, discriminated against, retaliated against, denied protected leave, or cheated out of wages. They need a lawyer who can listen, think strategically, communicate clearly, and fight for them.

At Spitz, you will work on real employment law cases from the beginning. You will meet with clients, evaluate claims, draft charges and legal documents, negotiate resolutions, participate in litigation strategy, and develop the skills needed to become a strong employee-side advocate. You will not be hidden in the background waiting years for meaningful responsibility.

We are looking for someone who is driven, organized, empathetic, and ready to grow in a fast-paced litigation environment. Employment law experience is helpful, but not required. What matters most is judgment, work ethic, communication skills, and a genuine commitment to helping employees stand up to unlawful workplace conduct.
