• Help shape the future of cybersecurity law alongside a team known for defining the space.
  

What They’re Looking For:

• 2–4 years of law firm or relevant government experience in privacy, cybersecurity, or incident response.
  

• Experience with federal/state agencies or cybersecurity-focused investigations is a strong plus.
  

• Excellent academic law school credentials and standout written/oral communication skills.
  

• Member of the state bar association of the location you are applying.

• Based in or open to DC, NYC, Boston, SF, Palo Alto, LA, San Diego, Seattle, Austin, or Century City.
  

What You’ll Get:

• $235,000 to $310,000 base salary + performance bonus.
  

• Industry-leading benefits including IVF, adoption, and surrogacy support; wellness and mental health stipends; elite career coaching for parents; CLE/bar exam coverage; 401(k) with firm contributions — and more.
  

This is a rare opportunity to build real thought leadership in a fast-moving, high-impact practice at a firm trusted by the world's most sophisticated clients.
