About NetChoice
NetChoice is a trade association of leading internet companies committed to promoting free expression and free enterprise online. The NetChoice Litigation Center is the organization’s in-house legal arm, handling offensive and defensive litigation in federal and state courts across the country on issues including First Amendment rights, Section 230, data privacy, and free enterprise. Our cases have reached the Supreme Court and the circuit courts, and our amicus program spans a growing range of subject matters critical to the internet economy.
The Role
We are looking for a talented and driven attorney to join our team and provide support for NetChoice’s internal, administrative needs as well as supporting our advocacy and litigation efforts. The successful candidate will work under NetChoice’s General Counsel and under the Director of the Litigation Center, and will contribute to consequential cases from early stages through argument and appeal.
This is a substantive role with real responsibility from day one. We are a small team, which means you will have more ownership over your work than you would at a large firm or government office.
Responsibilities
- Draft and review briefs, motions, complaints, and other litigation documents across a range of issue areas, including First Amendment, Section 230, data privacy, personal jurisdiction, copyright, and free enterprise
- Research, draft, and review amicus curiae briefs, legal memos, policy analyses, and legislative testimony in support of NLC’s advocacy priorities at the trial and appellate levels
- Manage day-to-day case administration, deadlines, and coordination with co-counsel and NetChoice’s internal and external stakeholders
- Serve as a knowledgeable and credible spokesperson on litigation matters, including engaging with reporters, trade press, and policy audiences on active cases and legal developments
- Manage relationships with internal stakeholders and NetChoice members;
- Manage relationships with external partners such as allied organizations and co-counsel, including coordinating amicus outreach and support
- Monitor and assess legal and regulatory developments relevant to NetChoice’s mission and members
- At the direction of the General Counsel, you’ll work to ensure NetChoice is meeting all existing and developing obligations as a non-profit organization (including as a growing employer).
- Draft, review, and negotiate partnership agreements, vendor contracts, non-disclosure agreements, and other pertinent documents
- Collaborate to ensure that NetChoice is complying with relevant federal and state laws affecting the association, particularly related to non-profit operations, lobbying, and election laws – including the operation of the NetChoice PAC
Qualifications
- J.D. from an accredited law school and admission to at least one state bar
- 3–5 years of legal experience
- Exceptional legal writing skills — clear, precise, and persuasive across a variety of formats and audiences
- Demonstrated ability to learn new areas of law quickly and write confidently across diverse subject matters
- Strong organizational and project management skills, with an ability to manage competing deadlines and priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Strong interpersonal skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with lawyers and non-lawyers alike.
- Comfort engaging with press and public audiences on litigation matters; existing media experience is a plus
- Federal or state judicial clerkship experience preferred but not required
- Genuine interest in First Amendment law, technology policy, and free enterprise; prior experience in these areas is welcome but not expected
