Description
Overview
We are seeking a Labor & Employment Attorney for a unique public law firm that handles government work privately through competitive bidding. They're not your typical law firm - they focus on meaningful public sector work that actually impacts communities.
You'll get the flexibility most BigLaw firms can't offer - fully remote or hybrid work with 90-95% of teams working remotely.
This Labor & Employment role offers $140k-$220k (flexible not lockstep) with 1850 billable hours and the chance to work on diverse public sector matters while building your career in a supportive environment.

Attorneys receive competitive health insurance benefits, a 401(k) with a partial match, and are eligible for annual discretionary and billable hour bonuses.
The firm's pro bono program affords attorneys opportunities to contribute in ways which are most meaningful to them both personally and professionally by giving associates billable credit for up to 40 hours of pro bono work.
The firm also supports attorneys’ business development goals by providing each associate with a yearly budget for attendance at continuing legal education and conferences.
Duties
- Provide legal advice to public sector and private clients with respect to employment and traditional labor matters.
- Represent clients in negotiations, mediations, and hearings related to employment disputes.
