Hausfeld LLP is accepting applications for an associate with three to six years of litigation and/or clerkship experience to join the firm’s San Francisco, Washington DC, or New York office.
Hausfeld ranks among the world’s leading plaintiff-side litigation law firms, renowned for its ability to prosecute and resolve complex disputes on behalf of businesses and individuals in the areas of antitrust/competition, commercial & financial disputes, consumer protection, data breach, environmental, and human rights, often with an international dimension. With more than 100 lawyers in the U.S. and Europe, the firm’s expertise is unrivaled. Our diverse team of attorneys has successfully litigated some of the nation’s most complex cases and negotiated some of the largest settlements ever reached.
Associates at Hausfeld take a substantial role in investigating and analyzing potential claims, drafting legal memos, complaints, and briefs, managing all phases of discovery (including taking and defending depositions), preparing for and attending trials, and participating in settlement discussions for complex litigation cases, among other responsibilities. All associates are expected to work in our antitrust litigation practice area, and most have the opportunity to work on matters in our other practice areas as well.
We are looking for someone who is a team player, a self-starter, highly organized, and able to juggle multiple responsibilities. A strong academic background and excellent writing skills and analytic ability are required, as is the ability to manage and thrive in a fast-paced work environment. Applicants should be enthusiastic about the firm’s mission-driven work and the opportunity to dive into complex problem-solving challenges, while gaining experience in every aspect of litigation. Applicants must be licensed and in good standing or eligible for admission in the District of Columbia, California, or New York.
Hausfeld offers generous benefits, including five weeks of paid time off and paid parental leave. Associates work a hybrid schedule and are encouraged to work in the office two days per week.
