We are looking for Media, Publishing & Communications Law Attorney candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Contribute expert-level legal reasoning on media, publishing, and communications law questions, including rights clearance, licensing, and regulatory compliance.
- Work through realistic scenarios drawn from content licensing, broadcast regulation, and pre-publication review practice, explaining the analysis behind your conclusions.
- Identify where a question is unsettled, jurisdictionally contested, or turns on facts that change the answer.
- Review and validate work from other contributors for legal accuracy and clarity of reasoning.
- Document your reasoning clearly, so the analysis is as useful as the conclusion.
- Flag ambiguous or poorly framed scenarios to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.
- Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.
What you need
- J.D. and active U.S. bar admission in good standing.
- 5+ years of substantive media or communications law practice — hands-on, not supervisory-only or adjacent exposure.
- A corporate law foundation, ideally built at a Vault 100 firm.
