Remote compliance attorneys help organizations follow the laws and regulations that govern their industry — building compliance programs, advising on regulatory requirements, conducting risk assessments, and supporting investigations. As an advisory, policy-driven practice, compliance work adapts naturally to remote arrangements.
Remote compliance roles sit in law firms and in-house across regulated industries — finance, healthcare, technology, and more — spanning regulatory advisory, ethics and compliance programs, and investigations. Strong candidates combine knowledge of the relevant regulatory regime with practical, business-minded guidance. Most postings require a JD and active bar admission, though some compliance roles are open to non-attorneys. The roles below are updated daily and include only positions employers advertised as remote.
Yes — every role posted on this site was advertised as remote by the employer. That's our single inclusion criterion: if a position wasn't presented as remote, it doesn't get listed, so every compliance attorney role here is a remote-advertised one. Please note that while we do our best to keep listings accurate, employers occasionally make mistakes in their own postings, so in rare cases a role advertised as remote may turn out not to be — we always recommend confirming the arrangement directly with the employer before you apply.
They build and maintain compliance programs and policies, advise the business on regulatory obligations, conduct risk assessments and training, monitor for issues, and support internal investigations and regulator interactions. The focus depends heavily on the industry and its regulators.
Not always — many compliance roles are open to non-attorneys, but attorney-specific compliance counsel roles require a JD and bar admission. This page lists attorney-classified roles; some employers prefer or require legal training, so check each listing.
Compensation varies by industry and experience, but remote compliance attorney roles in the US commonly range from around $110,000 to $220,000+ in base salary, often with bonus, with regulated-industry and senior roles at the higher end. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.
Both, really — compliance is a distinct career function within organizations and also a body of regulatory knowledge. Compliance attorneys sit at the intersection, applying legal expertise to keep the business within the rules. Roles vary from regulatory advisory to program management; listings usually indicate the focus.
Heavily regulated industries — financial services, healthcare, technology, and pharmaceuticals — tend to hire the most, driven by their regulatory burden. The specific regulations you'll need to know depend on the industry; listings usually name them.
