Ideal candidates will bring three to six years of specialized legal experience and a strong interest in emerging technology and regulatory frameworks.

Location

  • Washington, D.C.

Duties

  • Assist clients with cybersecurity preparedness and data breach response strategies

  • Conduct and manage regulatory investigations concerning privacy and cybersecurity matters

  • Develop and implement data privacy and cybersecurity programs aligned with U.S. laws (e.g., NIST, CCPA, HIPAA, BIPA, CPA, WMHMDA)

  • Provide support in M&A transactions through due diligence and risk assessment focused on data privacy and cybersecurity

  • Draft and review privacy policies and data processing agreements

Requirements

  • 3–6 years of relevant legal experience in cybersecurity and data privacy

  • Familiarity with U.S. state and federal privacy regulations

  • Experience with AI-related legal issues is a plus

  • Demonstrated interest in privacy and cybersecurity law

  • Government or law enforcement experience (legal or non-legal) is valued

Education

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school

  • High academic achievement preferred

Certifications

  • Active membership in a U.S. state bar (District of Columbia bar preferred or willingness to become a member)

Skills

  • Deep understanding of cybersecurity and privacy legal frameworks

  • Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills

  • Ability to manage complex regulatory matters and investigations

  • Effective communicator with both legal teams and business stakeholders

  • Adaptable to fast-changing legal and technological environments

You wanted the best and you got the best. The best of everything is what associates have here, from work to technology to beautiful office space and capable support staff. Although working on these headline-making cases doesn't come without a serious committment of time, many of the associates we know would not think of working anywhere else. Bring more than good grades, however, as interviewers scrutinize personal qualities just as heavily as academic performance.

Your information will not be forwarded to any employers at this time. A recruiter will contact you with more information once our internal review of your resume is completed.
