  • Collaborate with attorneys on case strategy through written analysis
  • Maintain consistent quality and meet demanding deadlines in a high-volume practice

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 5+ years of legal writing experience in a law firm environment
  • Judicial clerkship experience strongly preferred - we value the rigorous writing training that comes from clerking
  • Extensive background in wage and hour law writing including FLSA, state wage laws, class actions, and collective actions
  • Exceptional research and analytical skills
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing polished work product
  • What  We Offer

  • Competitive salary : $130,000 - $150,000 (based on experience and qualifications)
  • Work-life balance : No court appearances, depositions, or client meetings required
  • Fully remote position with flexible scheduling
  • Professional growth opportunities within an expanding practice
  • Collaborative environment with experienced employment law attorneys
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Year-end bonus potential based on performance and contribution to team success
  • Ideal Candidate Profile

    The ideal candidate is a skilled legal writer who thrives in a research-focused role and wants to make a significant impact through written advocacy. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment supporting multiple attorneys and cases simultaneously. Previous experience with employment law, particularly wage and hour issues, is essential.

    Application Process

    Please submit your resume along with two writing samples that demonstrate your legal writing abilities. Writing samples should preferably include employment law briefs or motions, but high-quality litigation writing in other practice areas will be considered.

    We are committed to diversity and inclusion and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
