Our client, a leading law firm in the privacy and data protection space, is seeking a Contract-to-hire Senior Privacy Attorney to support its U.S. privacy practice with a focus on CCPA and other state-level regulations. This role involves taking on high-level privacy matters, providing practical legal guidance, and operating independently to alleviate workload from senior team members. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in U.S. privacy laws and, ideally, experience advising on privacy in product development. Candidates must be barred in a state where the firm has an office, including AL, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IL, MA, NY, NC, OR, PA, TN, TX, VA, or WA. While this is a remote contract position, conversion to full-time would require the ability to work onsite three days per week.
