Fellowships

Outten & Golden NYU Law School Fellowship

Outten & Golden LLP, a plaintiff-side employment law firm in midtown Manhattan, is delighted to announce a new two-year fellowship for recent NYU School of Law graduates.

Our Practice

O&G represents only employees in a broad range of employment matters: workplace discrimination and harassment; disability accommodations; family and medical leave; minimum wage and overtime violations; whistle-blowing and retaliation; breach of contract and non-competition/non-solicitation clauses; and severance, contract, and partnership negotiations.

Our clients span the labor market: the class of immigrant food deliverers seeking minimum wage and overtime pay for their 80-hour work weeks; the flight attendant who suffered a racially discriminatory termination; the class of female MetLife employees denied equal compensation and promotion opportunities; the Morgan Stanley executive fighting the gender glass ceiling; the Fortune 500 CEO negotiating a severance agreement; and the team of finance analysts transitioning to a new employer. Our cases include individual claims, impact class actions, and negotiations. We litigate in federal and state court and in arbitration, and we also counsel those whose interests are not best served by litigation, including negotiating and drafting complex agreements on their behalf.

Our Attorneys

O&G has ten partners, twelve associates, and five of counsel attorneys, including founder and managing partner Wayne Outten, who graduated from NYU in 1974. Our managing partner was profiled in a recent New York Times piece on thriving businesses, and our attorneys are interviewed and quoted regularly on television and in print. Our associates speak at events including ABA-sponsored programs, publish articles, and chair bar association committees. For more information, please visit www.outtengolden.com.

Our Fellowship

Fellows will have the opportunity for extensive client contact and to take on significant responsibilities quickly, such as depositions, motion arguments, and negotiations with opposing counsel. In smaller cases, a Fellow may serve as the primary attorney, with guidance and supervision from more senior attorneys. Fellows may also work on articles for publication and attend bar association conferences.

Our ideal candidate is committed to workplace fairness, has strong writing and analytical skills, and thrives on independent responsibility. This Fellowship is open to new NYU Law graduates and to NYU Law graduates completing clerkships.

To apply, please mail or e-mail a cover letter, resume, transcript, and writing sample of no more than ten pages (not edited by anyone else) to: Piper Hoffman, Esq., Outten & Golden LLP, 3 Park Avenue, 29th Floor, New York, NY 10016; ph@outtengolden.com. Applications must be received by November 1, 2008.
