  • Advise clients on state, federal, and international breach notification laws, including GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and NYDFS.

  • Coordinate with cyber insurers, law enforcement, and regulators as necessary.

  • Support client relationships and contribute to thought leadership and practice development.

  • Participate in an on-call rotation to ensure rapid response capability.

Qualifications

  • J.D. and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

  • 6–10+ years of experience in cybersecurity incident response and data privacy law.

  • Prior law firm experience required; strong preference for attorneys with experience advising on complex breach matters.

  • Familiarity with cyber insurance panel work is a plus.

  • Excellent client management, communication, and leadership skills.

  • Ability to work independently and thrive in a remote, fast-paced, and collaborative environment.

What This Platform Offers

  • Steady flow of incident response matters from established cyber insurance panel relationships.

  • A supportive, team-based environment with seasoned partners and associates.

  • Full remote flexibility with robust administrative and technical support.

  • Opportunity to grow your leadership role and carve out a niche within a top-tier cybersecurity legal team.
