Job Description
Salary range: $185K - $235K
Location: Alexandria, VA
On-site work policy: Alexandria, VA (DC metro area). Remote/hybrid policy not confirmed on the call — treat as in-office unless confirmed otherwise with the firm.
About this roleWhat we're looking for:
We need a 2nd–4th year litigation associate with a strong academic record, ideally a federal clerkship, and the high EQ required to navigate demanding, high-profile clients in crisis. You should be comfortable driving cases forward with minimal supervision and have a track record of excellent legal writing and strategic thinking. Bonus points if you have plaintiff-side litigation experience, media/journalism background, or knowledge of crypto or entertainment industries.
What you'll do:
Run significant defamation and complex commercial litigation matters with real autonomy — the firm staffs by ability, not seniority
Draft strategy memos that frame case theory, jury themes, and end-goal narrative — not just doctrinal research
Write demand letters to media outlets seeking corrections, retractions, and apologies using the firm's extensive precedent bank
Conduct deposition prep and witness prep for high-profile clients including Fortune 100 executives, hedge fund principals, and public figures
Engage directly with publishers and broadcasters in pre-publication counseling to prevent damaging stories from running
Perform legal research (increasingly AI-accelerated) and high-level document review on complex matters
Interact directly with sophisticated clients and media outlets — answering difficult questions in real time far earlier than typical big law timelines
Collaborate closely with Chambers Band 1 partners on landmark matters including cases like the Dominion/Fox settlement and FINRA-record judgments
