• Provide guidance on privacy laws including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other U.S. state privacy laws.
• Review advertising, promotions, consent language, privacy notices, and website terms.

Disputes, claims, and litigation support

• Manage insurance claims, including reporting, tracking, and communicating with carriers and brokers.
• Coordinate with and manage outside counsel on litigation and specialized matters.
• Assist with discovery, including identifying, collecting, and preserving documents and issuing litigation holds.

• 2+ years of experience in commercial contracts, corporate, or transactional practice, at a law firm, in‑house, or both.
• Strong drafting, redlining, and negotiation skills.
