Remote Spitz Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Spitz, the Employee’s Law Firm, we don’t hire attorneys to sit on the sidelines. We hire them to become litigators.

We are expanding our Kentucky practice and looking for an attorney who wants meaningful work, real responsibility, and the opportunity to build an exceptional litigation career. This is a remote position that may be performed from anywhere in Kentucky.

Our attorneys represent employees facing discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, FMLA violations, unpaid wages and overtime, and other serious workplace violations. These cases matter. Clients often come to us at one of the most difficult moments in their careers, and they need an attorney who will listen, think strategically, communicate clearly, and fight for them.

Spitz is one of the nation’s largest employee-side employment law firms. We have built our practice around aggressive advocacy, outstanding client service, and a simple philosophy: talented attorneys become better lawyers by actually practicing law.

The fastest way to become a great litigator is to litigate.

At Spitz, meaningful responsibility is not reserved for attorneys who have reached a particular class year or title. Responsibility follows performance. Demonstrate that you are ready for more, and you will have the opportunity to do more.

You will counsel clients. Make strategic decisions. Negotiate with opposing counsel. Take depositions. Draft and argue substantive motions. Prepare cases for trial.

And you will not be expected to figure it all out alone.

You’ll work with experienced litigators who provide mentorship, feedback, strategy, and support while giving you the room to develop your own judgment and advocacy skills.

The goal is not simply to teach you employment law.

The goal is to help you become an exceptional litigator.
