Senior Employment Attorney
Senior Employment Attorney - Remote Special Counsel Role (California Bar Required)
Are you a seasoned employment attorney ready to reclaim your autonomy, reduce your billable hours, and still do impactful, high-quality legal work? This is your opportunity to join a forward-thinking, fully remote legal team that values your expertise-without the pressure of business development or overwhelming billable targets.
We're seeking Counsel or Special Counsel with 7+ years of employment law experience and active California bar membership to handle a dynamic caseload of administrative charges, demand letters, and single-plaintiff litigation. You'll also have the chance to supervise junior attorneys, shape case strategies, and represent clients in hearings and trials-all while working from wherever you thrive best.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Remote-first flexibility: Work from anywhere while staying connected to a collaborative, nationwide team.
- Reduced billable expectations: Choose a target between 1500-1850 hours-a rare balance of challenge and sustainability.
- No business development pressure: Focus on practicing law, not chasing clients.
- Autonomy with support: Lead your matters independently while benefiting from a strong infrastructure of paralegals, secretarial support, and partner collaboration.
- Diverse, engaging work: Tackle EPLI matters, single-plaintiff litigation, and occasionally class actions or PAGA cases.
What You Bring:
- JD from an ABA-accredited law school
- 7+ years of employment litigation experience
- Active California bar membership in good standing
- Confidence working independently in a remote environment
- Bonus: Experience with EPLI matters or prior law firm practice
Compensation & Benefits:
- Salary range: $150,000-$250,000, based on experience and billable target
- Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with profit-sharing, generous PTO, paid parental leave, and more-including optional perks like pet insurance and student loan refinancing
