Senior Associate - Copyright Transactions

Advocates Legal Recruiting

SENIOR ASSOCIATE: COPYRIGHT TRANSACTIONS (6+ YEARS) TECH + CONTENT | LA, SAN FRAN, SILICON VALLEY, DC, NYC Our AmLaw 100 client is hiring a senior associate to join the transactional side of a copyright-focused practice that sits at the center of tech, digital media, and music-driven business models. The work is sophisticated, current, and often first-impression for clients building or scaling content products. Role summary Draft and negotiate commercial agreements with a heavy emphasis on copyright and content rights. Advise on “business-critical” content licenses and broader licensing strategy across digital products and platforms. Support counseling work tied to DMCA and platform/compliance strategy, working closely with litigators and regulatory lawyers when issues escalate. Work with clients across the content stack: rights clearance strategy, catalog build-outs, data/financial reporting, and user acquisition and retention questions in music and digital media. Candidate profile Minimum 6 years of experience drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, ideally in copyright, IP licensing, tech transactions, or entertainment deals. Comfortable running negotiations and translating business goals into clean paper under real deadlines. Industry familiarity is a plus: music, entertainment, digital media, creator economy, content platforms. Why this role Platform: a top-ranked media and entertainment transactional practice with a deep bench and consistent placement in leading directories. Substance: copyright issues tied to modern product design, licensing and commercialization, including digital copyright questions that show up in emerging tech and AI-adjacent workflows. Cross-disciplinary seat: you are not siloed. The practice spans counseling, deals, and high-stakes disputes, with real exposure to how copyright problems get solved end-to-end. Support: structured well-being resources and firmwide infrastructure that is actually built out, not just stated. Locations Los Angeles | San Francisco | Menlo Park | New York | Washington, D.C. Compensation Market compensation (Cravath-scale structure for class years is reflected in the posting). Base + Bonus Interested If you send a resume, include a short deal sheet or a few representative agreements you have led (redacted is fine).
