Our team provides strategic legal counsel in response to cybersecurity incidents of every scale-including some of the largest and most complex events in history. We sit within Orrick's Cyber, Privacy & Data Innovation team and collaborate across practice groups, industries, and client teams:

Helping clients strategically prepare for and mitigate the risk of security incidents

As an Associate on the team, you will support all aspects of incident response and cybersecurity counseling, transactions, fact development, regulatory analysis, client communications, data impact assessments, and help to drive key workstreams during live incidents. You will receive hands-on training and mentorship and will have direct client exposure as you grow into the role.

An Associate will also have the opportunity to support cybersecurity-adjacent practices, including privacy and cybersecurity litigation and enforcement, as well as privacy and AI advisory work. Qualifications
