Senior Litigation Counsel - Remote

Epiq Counsel is seeking a Senior Litigation Counsel to support our client, a global technology and entertainment company, on its U.S. litigation team.

This is an interim engagement for a seasoned litigator who can step into a busy in-house team and carry a docket from day one. You'll manage a broad portfolio of commercial litigation, handle regulatory inquiries, subpoenas, and investigations, and serve as a trusted advisor to litigation leadership and the business. The team wants a generalist with range, someone comfortable moving across subject areas rather than confined to one narrow specialty, and a senior voice who can direct outside counsel, guide junior colleagues, and turn legal risk into practical advice the business will act on.

Our client is one of the world's leading technology and entertainment companies, operating at global scale across consumer products, digital platforms, and content. Its in-house litigation team manages a diverse, active portfolio spanning commercial disputes, regulatory matters, and intellectual property, and works closely with business leaders across the organization. This role sits within that team, reporting to litigation leadership, and will have real ownership of matters from pre-litigation through resolution.
