An industry‑leading employment law platform is seeking an experienced Employment Law attorney to join its innovative, fully remote Charges defense team. This is a standout opportunity for attorneys who want sophisticated employment work, national clients, and a highly reduced billable requirement that allows for real work life balance without sacrificing engagement or quality of matters.
This role is ideal for employment attorneys who enjoy administrative charge defense, client counseling, and written advocacy, but are seeking an alternative to traditional law firm pressure and partnership track expectations.

Compensation and Benefits
This role offers a competitive base salary ranging approximately from $130,000 to $165,000 in turn for the lower billable rate, with eligibility for performance based bonuses. Attorneys also receive a robust benefits package including health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), generous paid time off, parental leave, wellness initiatives, and family and mental health resources.
About the Platform
This opportunity sits within the largest global employment and labor law platform dedicated exclusively to representing management. Attorneys benefit from unparalleled subject matter depth, national resources, and cutting edge legal technology, all within a culture that genuinely prioritizes flexibility, retention, and sustainable career paths.
