Employment Special Counsel
Senior Employment Litigation Attorney
Fully Remote (CA-Based) | National Platform | Work-Life Balance Focused
My client, a nationally recognized employment law platform, is seeking a senior California employment litigator to join its employment litigation team. This is a 100% remote, full-time opportunity for attorneys based in California, designed for experienced practitioners who want to continue handling sophisticated, meaningful employment matters while maintaining a sustainable and flexible practice model.
This role is particularly well-suited for attorneys at the senior associate, counsel, or partner level who are looking to step away from the traditional law firm grind-without sacrificing the caliber of work, client exposure, or professional growth.
The Opportunity
- Handle employment practices liability insurance matters exclusively, with a strong emphasis on California employment litigation
- Work on high-impact cases for well-known and respected clients across a national platform
- Join a collaborative, California-focused litigation team backed by deep employment law expertise and robust internal support
- Enjoy a fully remote practice within California that prioritizes work-life balance, flexibility, and long-term career sustainability
- Focus on the practice of law, not business development, billing pressure, or firm politics
Ideal Candidate Profile
- 6+ years of California employment litigation experience
- Open to candidates from senior associate, counsel, or partner backgrounds
- Strong written and oral advocacy skills, with the ability to manage matters independently
- Comfortable operating in a remote, team-oriented environment
- Licensed and in good standing with the California Bar
Location Requirements

Compensation & Benefits

- Eligibility for performance-based bonuses
- Generous benefits package, including health coverage, retirement options, and additional firm-sponsored benefits
- Compensation is designed to be competitive, transparent, and aligned with long-term retention
Pursuant to California regulations, salary will be offered within the stated range and may vary based on experience, geography, and other relevant qualifications.
Why This Role Stands Out
- True remote California practice with no expectation of office time
- High-quality, meaningful litigation work without origination or book-of-business pressure
- A compelling option for senior lawyers seeking longevity, balance, and intellectual engagement
- Supported by the infrastructure, reputation, and stability of a top-tier national employment law platform
