Description:

Fisher Phillips, one of the oldest and largest labor and employment law firms representing management, has an opportunity for employment attorneys with at least five years of experience to join our team as Counsel in our Virtual Office.

This fully remote role focuses on handling administrative charges, demand letters, and employment litigation for a variety of firm clients, including those with Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI). Working under the guidance of partners and alongside other skilled attorneys and paralegals, the ideal candidate will possess a strong background in employment law, working with administrative agencies, and handling civil litigation in federal and state courts. In this position, your work will primarily involve the tactical aspects of cases with less of a need to attend in-person depositions, hearings, conferences, or trials.

This role will focus on efficient, high-quality legal work with a more flexible billable hours target and work/life balance, and no business development pressure or sourcing your own work, allowing you to concentrate on providing exceptional legal services without the burden of non-billable hour demands. Our firm is committed to creating an empowering and inclusive workplace where your talents can thrive.

Expertise in handling employment law matters and the ability to work independently in a remote setting are essential. Additional qualifications include having a JD from an ABA accredited law school, at least five years of experience in employment law and litigation, and active bar membership in good standing. Preferred qualifications include experience practicing in a law firm, experience with matters covered by EPLI, and having bar admission in California.

Fisher Phillips offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, generous paid time off, paid parental leave, a 401(k) plan with carve-out election and profit-sharing, life insurance, long-term disability coverage, an employee assistance program, and optional benefits such as critical care, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance, student loan refinancing, dependent life insurance, and pet insurance.

The annual salary range for this position is $130,000 – $165,000, with actual base pay determined by factors such as the selected billable hours target, experience, skills, and qualifications.

If you meet the qualifications and are interested in joining a dynamic and supportive legal environment, we encourage you to apply. Join us at Fisher Phillips and be a part of a forward-thinking legal practice that values your expertise and supports your professional journey.
