Job description

Arnold & Porter is seeking a mid-level or senior associate to join our Privacy, Cybersecurity & Data Strategy Practice Group in the Los Angeles or San Francisco office.

Arnold & Porter's Privacy, Cybersecurity & Data Strategy practice helps clients create risk-mitigated, global, scalable, and flexible privacy and cyber programs and data strategies for innovative data products, services and uses. We assist a wide range of industries in the challenging task of protecting data in line with the ever-growing and overlapping legal regimes. As traditional healthcare, life sciences, financial services, consumer products, and other companies become data companies, we have the insight and experience to help benchmark and prioritize resources, negotiate transactions, and evaluate potential business targets. When an attack happens, we quickly mobilize our investigation and litigation teams, which have successfully defended clients against data breach and privacy plaintiffs as well as the major data protection authorities, to contain the incident and minimize losses.

Qualified candidates must have excellent legal analysis, writing skills, academic credentials, and references. Experience in privacy litigation and consumer protection class action matters is preferred, but not required. Experience performing at trial, arguing matters before courts or arbitrators, and taking and defending depositions is also preferred.

Applicants must currently be licensed, or currently eligible to become licensed, to practice law in the state of California.

The salary range for this position in California is $260,000 to $435,000, commensurate with experience.

Eligibility for an hours-based bonus available.
