What is a Remote Employment Attorney?

A Remote Employment Attorney is a legal professional who specializes in employment law and provides legal services to clients remotely, typically through online platforms or virtual meetings. They advise employers and employees on issues such as workplace discrimination, wrongful termination, wage disputes, and employment contracts. By working remotely, these attorneys can serve clients from different locations, offering flexible and accessible legal support. Their responsibilities may include drafting legal documents, representing clients in virtual hearings, and providing counsel on compliance with labor laws.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Employment Attorney, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Employment Attorney, you need a Juris Doctor (JD) degree, active bar licensure, and in-depth knowledge of employment laws and regulations. Proficiency with legal research databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis, secure video conferencing tools, and document management systems is typically required. Exceptional written and verbal communication, attention to detail, and self-motivation are crucial soft skills for remote legal practice. These competencies enable the attorney to provide accurate legal counsel, manage cases efficiently, and build trust with clients and colleagues despite working remotely.

How does a remote employment attorney typically collaborate with clients and legal teams?

Remote employment attorneys often use secure video conferencing, email, and collaborative document platforms to communicate with clients and colleagues. They are responsible for reviewing contracts, advising on labor law compliance, and representing clients in virtual hearings or negotiations. Effective communication and the ability to manage confidential documents electronically are crucial. While working remotely offers flexibility, it also requires strong self-discipline and proactive coordination to ensure all parties stay informed and aligned on case developments.

Job description

Position Summary
Ogletree Deakins, one of the largest labor and employment law firms representing management, has an opportunity for an experienced employment attorney seeking a role with increased flexibility without giving up the challenge of a full-cycle litigation practice. This highly flexible role will allow the right candidate to work remotely without the administrative and client-development demands of a shareholder/partner track position. This role will focus on efficient, effective legal work with a lower billable hours target than our full-time shareholder track attorneys.
Servicing some of the firm's largest clients in California, this attorney will focus on defending employers in employment litigation, primarily single/multi-plaintiff lawsuits. Core responsibilities will regularly include, but will not be limited to, developing defense strategy, performing legal research, drafting pleadings, managing discovery-related activities (including motion practice), and drafting dispositive motions. This role will be responsible for taking and defending depositions, arguing motions and participating in mediations, trials and other aspects of a lawsuit that require in-person presence.
While this role will not be required to work in-office, the attorney will be included in the firm's annual all attorney retreat and will have access to the firm's extensive learning and development resources. Candidates must reside in Southern California.
We will consider qualified applicants with criminal histories in the manner consistent with the Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring.
Requirements
  • Qualified candidates must remain actively licensed to practice law in good standing in California and be licensed in the state they reside.
  • Candidates must have 2+ years of relevant litigation experience, either in-house or at a law firm.
  • Job requires excellent analytical and writing skills, strong organizational skills, ability to multi-task, and dedication to client service.
  • Due to the remote nature of the position, this job requires a high level of self-motivation, accountability for work product, and responsiveness.
  • Candidates should have a demonstrated ability to manage and work collaboratively with attorneys, administrative professionals, and clients, including excellent interpersonal skills.

Please note, we are not working with outside recruiters for this position.
Benefits
In accordance with California's amended labor code as stated in Senate Bill 1162, the expected salary range for this California position is between $165,000 and $181,500 . Actual pay will be adjusted based on experience, geographic location, and other job-related factors as permitted by law. This position qualifies for the benefits below.
Ogletree Deakins offers a robust suite of benefits for our attorneys including: comprehensive training and development programs including an annual firm-wide Attorney Retreat, CLE and bar admission expense reimbursement, several competitive annual bonus programs, 401(k) plan, affordable health, and life insurance including dental and vision coverage, flexible spending accounts to help offset the cost of dependent care and/or health care expenses, employee assistance program, back-up childcare program, and a paid parental leave on-ramping program.
Contact Information
