About Our Client

Our client is a globally recognized leader in employment and labor law with a long-standing reputation for excellence and innovation. For more than seven decades, their attorneys have represented employers in some of the most consequential employment law matters nationwide. Their team is known for:

• Deep subject‑matter expertise across all areas of labor and employment law
• Serving as a trusted advisor to major corporations and employers
• Delivering strategic, practical, and future‑focused legal solutions
• Leveraging proprietary technology to enhance efficiency and client value
• Cultivating a culture of collaboration, diversity, and original thinking

With more than 1,900 attorneys across 100+ offices worldwide, our client maintains unmatched resources, a global footprint, and the ability to serve employers wherever they operate.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned attorney who wants to join a highly respected platform dedicated exclusively to labor and employment law, all while enjoying the flexibility of a fully remote environment.

Role & Responsibilities

The Employment Litigation Attorney will play a key role in independently managing EPLI matters from initial claim through resolution. Responsibilities include:

Litigation & Case Management

• Handling EPLI matters as primary counsel across a range of employment-related claims
• Managing case strategy, discovery, depositions, motions, mediations, and settlement discussions
• Drafting and reviewing pleadings, briefs, position statements, and correspondence
• Conducting legal research and preparing high-quality written work product
• Advising clients and carriers on case exposure, strategy, and next steps

Client & Carrier Communication

• Serving as a primary point of contact for clients, claims professionals, and internal stakeholders
• Providing clear, timely, and strategic communication on case developments
• Building strong working relationships with insureds, brokers, and carriers

Strategic Advisory

• Evaluating complex fact patterns and delivering well‑reasoned, risk‑based recommendations
• Advising on employment law trends, case valuation, and claim prevention strategies

Collaboration & Leadership

• Collaborating with other attorneys to align on best practices and litigation strategy
• Mentoring junior attorneys as needed
• Contributing to internal knowledge-sharing, training, and legal updates

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will bring:

• J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active bar admission in the state of residence (must match one of the eligible states)
• 8+ years of employment litigation experience, preferably with EPLI exposure

• Demonstrated ability to manage complex cases independently
• Exceptional client communication and relationship‑building skills
• Strong analytical abilities and sound professional judgment
• Ability to work efficiently in a remote environment
• A commitment to professionalism, responsiveness, and high‑quality legal work

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Fully remote role with flexibility and autonomy

• A collaborative culture that encourages mentorship, growth, and innovation
• Access to extensive resources, proprietary technology, and best‑in‑class legal tools

This role is well-suited for an experienced attorney seeking stability, high‑quality work, and the ability to contribute meaningfully to a respected employment law practice-all from a remote environment.

Compensation will be determined based on factors such as:

• Years and depth of experience
• Specific technical skills
• Professional qualifications
• Overall fit with the team

This position also includes eligibility for performance‑based bonuses.
