Remote litigation attorneys handle disputes — investigating claims, drafting pleadings and motions, managing discovery, taking and defending depositions, and arguing cases. While litigation involves court appearances, a large share of the work (research, writing, discovery, and strategy) is done remotely, and many firms and companies now hire litigators on a remote or remote-first basis.
Remote litigation roles span civil, commercial, and complex litigation across law firms and in-house teams, from associate-level motion and discovery work to senior trial and strategy roles. Strong candidates combine persuasive legal writing with sharp analysis and case management. Most postings require a JD, active bar admission, and litigation experience. 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 litigation 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.
A lot of it can — research, drafting pleadings and motions, discovery, and strategy are largely remote, and many proceedings now happen by video. When in-person appearances such as hearings, depositions, or trials are required, they're handled as needed; the listing and employer will set expectations, so confirm specifics with them.
Litigators investigate disputes, draft complaints, motions, and briefs, manage document discovery, take and defend depositions, advise clients on strategy and settlement, and represent clients in hearings and at trial. Junior roles weight toward research, writing, and discovery; senior roles toward strategy and advocacy.
Compensation varies by experience and setting, but remote litigation attorney roles in the US commonly range from around $110,000 to $230,000+ in base salary, often with bonus. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.
Civil litigation is the broad category of non-criminal disputes; commercial litigation is the subset involving business and contract disputes between companies. Complex litigation refers to large, multi-party, or high-stakes cases. Listings usually specify the type.
It varies — from a couple of years for associate roles handling research, writing, and discovery, to a decade or more for senior trial and strategy positions. Active bar admission is required; check each listing.
