Freedom Foundation has retained the recruiting firm Big Fish on this search. Please contact Angel Fimbres-Barcelo at angel@recruitbigfish.com for any questions or referrals regarding the role.

Big Fish is a boutique recruiting firm specializing in the talent needed to drive policy change. Visit us at recruitbigfish.com to learn more.

The Freedom Foundation seeks a Conservative/Libertarian Litigation Counsel who is licensed in one or more states the Foundation expects litigation and/or willing to get admitted to practice in these states. The Foundation strongly desires the Counsel to work in either its Olympia or Dallas offices, although other locations will be considered.

Organizational & Job Details

Freedom Foundation is an aggressive and effective conservative/libertarian organization devoted to public-sector labor reform. With employees throughout the nation, we work to defeat forced unionism and diminish the undue political influence wielded by Big Labor. We do this by informing workers of their rights and protecting and enhancing those rights in the courts. Success in this fight is a fundamental prerequisite to expanding freedom and prosperity across the country.

The Litigation Counsel will join an experienced, committed, and hard-working litigation team under the direction of the Foundation’s Chief Litigation Counsel. The subject matter includes First Amendment, open government, administrative, civil rights, and related cases. It also provides legal support and defense for the Foundation in its outreach and messaging efforts. The Foundation’s attorneys love what they do, enjoy working together, have fun, and passionately believe in the mission. Though we work collaboratively, the Litigation Counsel must be a self-starter and capable of managing his or her own caseload.

  • Writing legal opinions, briefs, articles, memos, blog posts, and analyses;
  • Communicating about the Foundation’s legal activities to supporters, the media, and the general public;
  • Working with Foundation staff to advance union reform and other key objectives;
  • Advising Foundation staff as they advance other facets of the Foundation’s mission;
  • Cultivating partnerships with like-minded legal organizations and attorneys;
  • Public speaking at Foundation and other events.

Qualifications

  • Applicants with significant intensive litigation or related experience are preferred, all applicants with five or more years of litigation experience will be considered;
  • Possess excellent academic credentials, a strong and entrepreneurial work ethic, and the ability to persevere under adversity;
  • Possess excellent legal research and writing skills;
  • Be licensed to practice law in a state the Foundation expects to engage in litigation;
  • Believe, share, and be able to express the Foundation’s mission and values;
  • Enjoy taking on new challenges and working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment;

Compensation and Benefits

The Freedom Foundation offers competitive pay and benefits. Compensation determined by a candidate’s overall experience and qualifications. This position has the potential to earn bonuses. The Freedom Foundation offers Health Insurance and a 403B Retirement Program and provides a flexible personal time off (PT0/Vacation) policy, allowing full-time employees to take leave as needed when approved by management, and 12 paid holidays.
