Job description

Our client, an AmLaw 100 firm, is actively looking to add a mid-level privacy associate (2021-2023 JD) in San Francisco or Los Angeles.

This is a good fit for someone who has built a foundation in privacy and data security and wants exposure to a broad range of work rather than being narrowly focused in one area.

The practice includes:

• CCPA and other state privacy laws, GDPR, BIPA, COPPA, HIPAA, GLBA and related regulations
• Privacy policies and data protection agreements
• Privacy and security provisions in commercial contracts
• Privacy impact assessments and transactional due diligence
• Incident response and regulatory investigations
• Emerging issues involving adtech, privacy litigation and AI regulation

For someone interested in working in a dynamic West Coast office and with a team that supports associates in taking ownership of a broad practice, this opening is worth a closer look.
