Job description

One of the best firms to work for in Big Law seeks an associate to join their Antitrust & Competition team for any of their US Offices.

The ideal candidate must have 3 years of experience working on antitrust merger-review matters.

Qualified candidates will have a major law firm or government experience and a proven track record of commitment to world-class client service and teamwork. Experience preparing advocacy and submissions in merger investigations conducted by U.S. federal agencies (DOJ/FTC) and state attorneys general, working on Second Requests, preparing witnesses for depositions/investigational hearings, litigating merger challenges, and advising companies on merger agreements, due diligence, and integration planning is strongly preferred. Comparable experience working on such matters at antitrust enforcers is just as valuable. Experience with business development efforts explaining the implications of changes in antitrust merger policy is a plus. Candidates should have strong client and technical skills, be team-oriented, and have a problem-solving personality. A strong work ethic, solid interpersonal skills, and a motivated, entrepreneurial outlook are essential. Candidates must also possess excellent academic credentials along with superior communication and organizational skills and be (or have the ability to become) a member of the Bar in the state in which they will work and reside.
