  • Admission to the bar in the state where you will practice

Why This Role

Work directly with some of the most respected copyright litigators in the country, supported by a clear advancement framework, structured mentorship, and a platform with the resources to take on precedent-setting matters. Gain exposure to cutting-edge issues in technology and media, backed by career development programs that include leadership training, cross-office collaboration, and client-facing opportunities from day one.
