Labor & Employment Remote Hourly Counsel - Multi Office

About the Role

Our national Innovative Staffing Team (IST) is an elite, highly trained “swat team” of Labor and Employment lawyers offering a fully-remote, hourly position.

Each IST lawyer is tied to one of our national offices but can be physically located in many states across the country. You’ll be a member of our consistently top-ranked and nationally recognized Labor & Employment practice group.
