Mooney, Green, Saindon, Murphy & Welch, PC (Summer 2026)
Washington, DC
This is the summer 2026 fellowship description for this mentor organization.
Mooney, Green, Saindon, Murphy & Welch, P.C. was established to serve the interests of working people by assisting their labor representatives and benefit plans. The Firm represents unions in the private and public sectors, and in many industries and fields, including mining and industrial, service employees, educational, transportation and construction. Services provided to unions range from litigation (including cases involving offensive and defensive RICO and antitrust actions, defending injunction and strike damage suits, and defending member lawsuits), assisting unions in responding to governmental investigations and audits, assisting in collective bargaining, and advising on such matters as regulatory compliance, internal union affairs, organizing, and strike conduct.
The Firm also represents pension and benefit plans of all sizes. Services to these plans include tax qualification, ERISA compliance, employer collection actions, responding to governmental investigations, obtaining rulings and exemptions from the appropriate governmental agencies, defending participant lawsuits, and general advice. The Firm has also been involved in crafting legislation to address labor issues that could not be adequately resolved in collective bargaining.
The Firm is seeking full-time summer law clerks to start May 2026 for a 10-12 week period. Our law clerks assist in research and writing projects for our attorneys in a wide variety of labor and employee benefits matters, and frequently are given the opportunity to attend arbitrations, trustee meetings, and/or court hearings related to their projects. The position requires strong legal research and writing skills and coursework in basic labor law or ERISA is preferred. Experience in the labor movement is a plus. Applicants must currently be rising 2Ls (meaning they will be rising 3Ls during their clerk summer). We will consider applications for law clerks to work remotely or on a hybrid telework schedule. Please note in your cover letter if your application is for fully remote work.
Law clerks will be paid $30 per hour.
Applications Must Include: Cover Letter, Resume, Transcript, Writing Sample.
