Counsel, Litigation & Risk Management

As Counsel, Litigation & Risk Management, you will help lead the company’s response to employment- related and operational disputes, and help proactively manage legal risk across a large, multi-state care network. You will partner closely with both HQ and Care operations teams to address pre-litigation disputes and litigation, provide practical advice on employment and compliance issues, and build scalable processes that reduce risk and support compliant growth.

This role is critical to ensuring that Honor navigates an increasingly complex regulatory and litigation landscape while continuing to operate efficiently and compassionately at scale. You will have the opportunity to directly influence business practices, shape risk mitigation strategies, and work at the intersection of legal, operations, and technology.

This is a remote role. Occasional time-sensitive matters may require responsiveness outside of standard business hours or travel.

The Care Platform Legal team provides practical legal support to Honor’s operations, People team, and leadership across a multi-state workforce. In this role, you will work closely with the Vice President, Deputy General Counsel (Care, Litigation & Employment) and a Risk Management & Litigation Specialist. You will also be part of the broader Legal, Standards, and Advocacy team, working collaboratively to support and advise on matters across the company.
