Join a Healthcare Law Dream Team

One of the most respected names in BigLaw (yep, you know them—but we’re keeping it low-key) is on the hunt for a sharp, curious, and purpose-driven Healthcare Regulatory Associate to dive into some of the most complex and forward-thinking work in the healthcare and life sciences world.

If you're 3–5 years into your legal journey, love decoding the intersection of health tech, regulation, and M&A, and want to be in the room where it happens—this gig’s for you.

The Vibe

This team is where law meets innovation. Think:

Advising digital health disruptors and next-gen telehealth companies

Navigating regulatory mazes like HIPAA, Anti-Kickback, Stark, and licensing

Getting hands-on with deal structuring, private equity transactions, and compliance builds

Zooming out to shape strategy with clients, not just push paper

You'll work closely with people who've worked at CMS, DOJ, and FDA—aka, people who know their stuff and want to help you level up.

Your Toolkit

3–5 years of real-deal healthcare regulatory experience

Exposure to M&A or investment work? Gold star.

JD in hand + bar admission in DC, IL, or NY

Clear thinker. Strong writer. Deeply organized. Inherently collaborative.

Why You’ll Love It Here

$260K–$365K salary (no gatekeeping)

Hybrid setup = flexibility meets community

You’ll join a firm that actually invests in its people (and not just during onboarding)

Full-on benefits: health, vision, dental, 401(k), and the soft stuff like mentorship, real feedback, and opportunities to lead

If you're looking to make bold moves in healthcare law and want your next chapter to be equal parts impactful and inspiring—this is it.
