Job description

Cooley LLP’s cyber/data/privacy practice group is recruiting 3L law students (JD 2027) to join the entry level class in our New York and Washington, DC offices. We are recruiting 2027 JD graduates for this position. Recruiter submissions will not be accepted.

Cooley’s cyber/data/privacy group offers the full spectrum of counseling and litigation capabilities in cybersecurity, data rights, and privacy to clients around the globe. We provide companies with a holistic approach to compliance, security and response that’s built to preserve and protect our clients through a growing number of crippling data breaches and vulnerabilities in digital assets, intellectual property, employees, outside vendor access, brand reputation, and trade secrets.

Whether responding to a data breach, developing a privacy policy, conducting due diligence on an M&A transaction, guiding a company through a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) inquiry or regulatory investigation, or defending a client against litigation, we assist our clients in navigating the increasingly complex landscape of international laws and regulatory requirements. Our enduring record of helping top companies with cyber/data/privacy matters and our unmatched industry leadership are regularly recognized by such respected publications as Law360, which repeatedly has named the Cooley team as Cybersecurity & Privacy Practice Group of the Year.

We represent industry leaders, executives and boards of directors whose innovative technologies and business models often raise novel legal issues in the area of privacy and data security. In some instances, these issues challenge the fundamental definition of data protection and privacy in the age of information, interconnectedness and social media – whether in traditional industries like healthcare, telecommunications and higher education that have evolved with the rapid increase of digitized information, or in emerging industries such as social media, drones, smart grid technology and the Internet of Things. Our lawyers understand the importance of not only knowing and applying the law but shaping it in a way that better enables our clients to develop and deploy value-maximizing business strategies.

Cooley’s cyber/data/privacy team is part of our CooleyREG offering, through which we combine an understanding of the impact of disruptive advancements – and the regulatory issues that impose risk and slow progress – to help our clients navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

The expected salary for this position is $225,000.

We offer a full range of elective benefits including medical, health savings account (with applicable medical plan), dental, vision, health and/or dependent care flexible spending accounts, pre-tax commuter benefits, life insurance, AD&D, long-term care coverage, backup care for children and/or adults, and other parental support benefits.
