Remote Special Counsel, Employment Law (Arizona)
$185K–$205K Base + Bonus | Unlimited PTO | No Business Development
Elite Talent Consulting · Arizona, United States (Remote)
Overview
A highly respected national labor & employment law firm is seeking an Arizona-barred Special Counsel to support its growing employer-side practice. This role offers sophisticated employment litigation and counseling on a national platform—without any requirement for business development or originations.
This is an exceptional opportunity for senior employment attorneys who want complex legal work, autonomy, and flexibility, while remaining part of a stable, well-resourced firm with a strong reputation in the market.
This role is designed for senior, Arizona-barred employment litigators with meaningful law firm experience. Plaintiff-side and junior profiles will not be considered.
Key Responsibilities
You will independently manage employer-side matters, including:
• EPLI-covered employment litigation
• Single-plaintiff employment disputes
• Administrative agency matters (EEOC, ACRD, DOL, etc.)
• Attorney demand letters and pre-litigation strategy
• Full litigation lifecycle: pleadings, discovery, depositions, motions, mediations, and resolution
• Strategic employment counseling and risk assessments for employer clients
• Collaboration with a distributed national legal team and dedicated support staff
• Occasional in-person hearings, mediations, or proceedings within Arizona, as needed
Qualifications
• 7–25 years of employment law experience
• Strong employer-side employment litigation background (required)
• Prior law firm experience required
• Proven ability to manage matters autonomously from intake through resolution
• Excellent legal writing, analytical, and client-facing communication skills
• Comfortable working remotely with minimal supervision
• Active Arizona bar admission (required)
• Additional state bar admissions are a plus, not required
This role is best suited for attorneys operating at the Senior Counsel / Special Counsel level who are comfortable owning matters independently.
Compensation & Structure
• Base Salary: $185,000–$205,000 (depending on experience and billable mix)
• Annual Bonus: Up to 10%
• Billable Target: ~1,750–1,850 hours annually
• No business development or origination requirements
Benefits
Core Benefits
• Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid parental leave
• 401(k) with carve-out and profit-sharing
• Life insurance & long-term disability coverage
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Optional Benefits
• Student loan refinancing support
• Pet insurance
• Critical illness, accident & hospital indemnity plans
• Dependent life insurance
Why This Role Stands Out
• True Special Counsel seat — no sales pressure
• National-level work with local Arizona flexibility
• Premium compensation without partnership politics
• Long-term stability on a respected platform
