Where do remote lawyers work?

Remote lawyers typically work from home or another location outside of the office. Many are self-employed and seek their own clients, but others are employed by law firms or other companies but still work independently from home. Law firms are the most common place you find attorneys, but with the many regulations governing most industries, a lawyer’s expertise is needed in virtually every organization. Many companies hire legal counsel to be on their staff or on a contract basis. Government agencies also typically have attorneys on hand to ensure projects and decisions meet all legal criteria. A lawyer may also find employment in the public interest sector or in academia.
