Job description

Data Breach & Consumer Class Action Attorney

Fully Remote in the U.S. | Plaintiffs’ Class Actions | Data Breach Focus

MB Attorney Search is conducting a retained search for an experienced plaintiffs’ consumer class action attorney to join a growing Chicago-based practice with a significant focus on data breach litigation.

The firm is seeking an attorney with 4+ years of litigation experience and meaningful plaintiff-side consumer protection class action experience. Direct experience handling data breach or data privacy class actions is strongly preferred.

This is an opportunity for an attorney who wants to take meaningful ownership of sophisticated nationwide class actions. The firm is particularly interested in litigators who have developed the judgment and substantive skills to run cases or significant portions of cases, rather than simply support a larger litigation team.

The Work

The attorney will work on sophisticated consumer class actions in federal courts nationwide, with a substantial focus on data breach and privacy-related litigation.

Responsibilities may include:

• Investigating potential data breach and consumer protection cases and developing litigation strategy
• Drafting complaints, substantive motions, briefs, and settlement papers
• Managing discovery, deadlines, and significant components of complex class actions
• Working with clients, co-counsel, local counsel, and experts
• Participating in court appearances, mediations, and settlement negotiations
• Managing matters from filing through resolution with increasing independence based on experience

What We Are Looking For

Candidates should have:

• 4+ years of substantive litigation experience
• Meaningful plaintiff-side consumer protection class action experience
• Hands-on experience running class action matters or significant components of cases
• Strong legal research, persuasive writing, and substantive motion practice skills
• The judgment and initiative to develop strategy, identify next steps, and move cases forward
• Admission to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

Data breach and data privacy class action experience is strongly preferred. The strongest candidates will have direct experience taking meaningful responsibility for plaintiff-side data breach class actions, including case strategy, substantive briefing, discovery, settlement, and other aspects of managing matters through resolution.

The firm is open to attorneys at different levels of seniority and particularly values candidates who are ready to take substantial ownership of their cases.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Fully remote in the U.S. Work remotely while handling sophisticated litigation nationwide.
• Data breach focus. Join a growing practice handling a substantial volume of data breach and privacy-related class actions.
• Meaningful case ownership. Take responsibility for strategy, substantive litigation, and moving matters toward resolution.
• Sophisticated federal litigation. Work on complex consumer class actions in courts across the country.
• Room to grow. Take on increasing independence and responsibility based on experience.
• No book required. The firm is interested in your litigation experience and ability, not whether you bring portable business.
