- Represent clients in settlement negotiations and remote mediations.
- Collaborate with a team that leverages data-driven technology and streamlined workflows for efficiency and impact.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- 100% remote
- Flexibility: Reduced hours without sacrificing quality or compensation.
- Competitive Pay: $130K-$175K base + performance bonuses.
- Top-Tier Benefits: Comprehensive health, 401(k), generous PTO, parental leave, mental health programs, and more.
- No Travel, No Rainmaking: Focus on practicing law, not chasing business.
What We're Looking For:
- Minimum 6 years of employment law experience (management-side preferred).
- 6+ years of experience handling administrative agency charges at federal and state levels.
- Excellent writing and advocacy skills.
- Active bar license in your state of residence - Must be located in either California or Connecticut.
Why Join?
This is your chance to work with a global leader in labor & employment law, known for innovation, diversity, and a culture that values original thinking. You'll have access to world-class resources and technology, without the pressure of a shareholder track.
