Job description

Antitrust Litigation Associate (Mid to Senior Level) | Washington, DC | $215,000 to $355,000

You know the type of case. A dozen defendants. A putative class. An expert report thicker than the complaint.

Somewhere in the review platform there's a pricing email from years ago that everyone will be arguing about by summer. Someone on the team has to know where it sits, who wrote it, and what the economist is going to say about it.

That someone could be you. I'm recruiting a mid to senior litigation associate for a Global 100 firm headquartered in Washington, DC. You'd join a team built around a portfolio of antitrust matters. Because the cases are connected, what you learn on one carries straight into the next. That's how the firm builds subject matter expertise, litigation skill and trial experience at the same time.

The associate range is $215,000 to $355,000. It's wide because they'll hire across two levels: an associate with four solid years of complex litigation toward the lower end, and a senior associate who has already run discovery and prepped experts toward the top. Antitrust experience is ideal. Strong complex litigation, especially class actions, will get you a serious look.

What you'll own

• Discovery and ediscovery across multi party matters.
• Depositions and expert witness preparation.
• Day to day management of the more junior lawyers on the team.
• Work before the DOJ, FTC and state attorneys general, if that's in your background. A plus, not a must.

What they need

• At least four years of complex litigation, ideally in a law firm.
• A JD and active DC bar membership in good standing.
• Excellent research, writing and analysis.
• Readiness to lead a small team.
• Your law school transcript with the application.

That pricing email turns up eventually. Usually in the last custodian anyone thought to collect.
