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. This role provides the opportunity to work with the best employment team in the country without the demands of a full-time, partner-track position. Each IST lawyer is tied to one of our national offices but can be physically located in many states throughout the country. You’ll be a member of our consistently top-ranked and nationally recognized Labor & Employment practice group.

Responsibilities

• Handle employment litigation, including drafting responsive pleadings, managing all aspects of the discovery process, and drafting motions such as motions for summary judgment.

• Work collaboratively with experienced lawyers, sharing ideas, resources, and best practices.
• Manage your workload with strong time management skills and flexibility around workflow. There is no billable hours expectation, and your schedule is self-directed.

Requirements

• 5+ years of increasingly responsible employment litigation experience, preferably on the management-side.
• Familiarity with federal and state court practice, as well as experience with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Department of Labor, and other federal, state, and local government administrative agencies.
• Active bar license in the state where you reside and one in which Seyfarth maintains an office.
• A collegiate, cooperative approach to working with a team of experienced lawyers.
• Commitment to working 1000 or more hours per year, depending on casework.

Benefits
