Job description

White Collar Defense & Investigations Associate Attorney

Current & Future Opportunities | Confidential Career Conversations

You handle high-stakes matters. Your career decisions deserve the same level of strategy.

For white collar and investigations associates, the right firm can offer exposure to more sophisticated investigations, greater client responsibility, and meaningful opportunities to develop as an advocate.

Aligned Talent Acquisition is interested in connecting with White Collar Defense and Investigations Associate Attorneys who may be open to exploring new opportunities.

I work primarily with Am Law 50, 100, and 200 firms, but I also frequently partner with small and midsize firms, respected regional firms, and sophisticated boutiques across multiple markets.

Not currently practicing at an Am Law firm? I'd still love to hear from you! I welcome associates from firms of all sizes and value relevant experience, skills, and career goals.

Areas of Experience

• Government and internal investigations
• White collar criminal defense
• Regulatory enforcement proceedings
• FCPA, False Claims Act, and fraud matters
• Corporate compliance and investigative matters

What Could Your Next Move Offer?

More sophisticated investigations and enforcement matters

Greater client responsibility and advocacy opportunities

Competitive compensation and bonus potential

Stronger mentorship and professional development

Improved advancement opportunities and firm culture

You can be successful where you are and still wonder whether another firm could be a better fit.

This is an opportunistic search, not an advertisement for one specific opening. However, I work with numerous law firms across multiple markets and may already have active opportunities that align with your experience and career goals.

Whether there's an immediate fit or we stay connected for the right opportunity down the road, I'd welcome the chance to learn more about your background, compensation expectations, and what matters most to you in your next move.

All conversations are confidential. Your resume and identifying information will never be shared with a firm without your permission.
