Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

• 2–6 years of litigation experience, with a strong emphasis on federal court matters.

• Demonstrated experience handling privacy-related litigation (CCPA, BIPA, wiretap claims, etc.) or data breach class actions is a plus.

• Strong legal writing, research, and oral advocacy skills.

• Proven ability to manage cases and deadlines in a remote or hybrid work setting.

• Technical fluency or experience collaborating with forensic experts is advantageous.
