Employment Special Counsel

My client, a globally recognized leader in labor & employment law representing management exclusively, is seeking an experienced EEOC Special Counsel to join their innovative, technology-driven charges practice. This is a unique opportunity to do sophisticated, high-impact employment work without the demands of a traditional shareholder-track role.

• Reduced billable requirement of just 1,500 hours—real flexibility, real balance
• No required business travel and no business development obligations
• Access to cutting-edge AI-driven tools and proprietary technology that streamline workflow and elevate client service

• Drafting persuasive position statements
• Responding to agency requests for information
• Representing clients in settlement negotiations and remote mediations

This is challenging, intellectually engaging work designed for attorneys who want to focus on practicing law, not chasing origination credits.

Requirements

• Minimum 6 years of employment defense law experience on the management side
• Demonstrated experience with administrative agency charges at the federal and state levels (EEOC and state agency exposure strongly preferred)
• Proven ability to draft persuasive position statements and represent clients at hearings and/or mediations
• Strong time management skills and the ability to juggle multiple deadlines with precision
• An active bar license in your state of residence
• Comfort with—and curiosity about—AI and emerging legal technologies, with the aptitude to leverage them to enhance efficiency and client outcomes

Benefits

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
• Superior 401(k) plan
• Ample PTO
• Mental health and wellness programs
• Family-building and caregiving support
• Generous paid parental leave
