Remote employment attorneys advise on the law of the workplace — hiring and firing, discrimination and harassment, wage-and-hour, leave and accommodations, restrictive covenants, and workplace policies. The work is largely advisory and document-driven, making it well suited to remote arrangements for both employer-side and, in some roles, employee-side practice.
Remote employment roles sit in law firms and in-house teams across every industry, spanning counseling, policy and compliance, and employment litigation. Strong candidates pair command of federal and state employment law with practical guidance for HR and management. Most postings require a JD and active bar admission. 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 employment 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 counsel employers, and sometimes employees, on workplace issues — drafting policies and agreements, advising on hiring, discipline, and termination, handling discrimination, harassment, and wage-and-hour questions, supporting investigations, and managing or defending employment claims. The mix depends on whether the role is advisory, compliance, or litigation.
Employment law governs the individual employer-employee relationship — discrimination, wage-and-hour, leave, and termination. Labor law deals with unions and collective bargaining. They overlap, and some roles cover both, often labeled 'labor and employment'; listings usually specify.
Compensation varies by experience and setting, but remote employment attorney roles in the US commonly range from around $110,000 to $220,000+ in base salary, often with bonus. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.
Often yes — employment law varies significantly by state, and sometimes by city, so remote roles supporting a distributed workforce frequently require multi-state knowledge. Active bar admission is required; specific state needs vary by employer, so check each listing.
Generally yes — much of the work is advisory, policy, and document-driven, done by video and email, which is why many employment roles are offered remotely. Litigation-focused roles may involve occasional in-person proceedings; the employer will set expectations.
