Copyright & Commercial Transactions Associate - Los Angeles

Direct Counsel

Job Description

Job Description

Direct Counsel represents a prestigious AmLaw firm seeking a Copyright & Commercial Transactions Associate to join its nationally recognized Copyright Litigation & Counseling practice. This opportunity is ideal for an attorney with at least 4 years of experience handling sophisticated commercial transactions involving intellectual property, technology, digital media, and content licensing matters.

The ideal candidate will have substantial experience drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements, particularly within technology transactions, intellectual property licensing, or similar transactional practices at a leading law firm. This role focuses on principal-side transactional work for technology, media, music, and content-driven companies and is not primarily centered on M&A or financing transactions.

The practice advises clients ranging from startups to leading global technology and digital media companies on cutting-edge copyright, licensing, digital content, and commercial strategy matters arising at the intersection of technology and intellectual property law.

Responsibilities:

  • Draft, review, and negotiate sophisticated commercial agreements involving technology, intellectual property, digital content, and licensing matters
  • Advise clients on copyright, content acquisition, licensing, and digital media transactions
  • Structure and negotiate strategic partnership agreements and commercial collaborations
  • Support clients on data acquisition, content distribution, and intellectual property-related transactions
  • Provide strategic counseling on compliance with copyright and digital media regulations, including matters involving the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
  • Collaborate with cross-functional legal teams on complex commercial and intellectual property matters
  • Conduct legal research and analysis related to copyright, licensing, and technology transactions
  • Communicate effectively with clients, business teams, and internal legal teams regarding transactional and strategic matters

Qualifications:

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school
  • Minimum of 4 years of transactional experience at a law firm
  • Strong experience drafting and negotiating sophisticated commercial agreements
  • Experience in technology transactions, intellectual property licensing, digital media, or related transactional practices preferred
  • Experience advising technology, media, entertainment, or content-driven companies strongly preferred
  • Prior entertainment, music, or media industry experience is a plus, but not required
  • Excellent drafting, negotiation, analytical, and communication skills
  • Strong academic credentials required
  • Licensed and in good standing in the applicable jurisdiction

Skills & Competencies:

  • Strong attention to detail and problem-solving abilities
  • Ability to manage multiple complex transactions simultaneously
  • Collaborative and client-focused mindset
  • Interest in emerging technologies, digital media, and intellectual property strategy
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, sophisticated transactional practice

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience
  • Comprehensive benefits package and professional development opportunities

Job Type:
Full-Time | Hybrid/Onsite Depending on Office Location
