At Nixon Peabody, we are committed to attracting talented individuals from a wide range of experiences and cultures, including individuals from a wide range of racial, ethnic, social, economic, religious, genders, and personal backgrounds. Therefore, we encourage talented individuals of all backgrounds and experiences to apply.

 Qualified candidates will have strong academic credentials, superb judgment and communication skills, and a commitment to providing excellent client services.

In accordance with applicable Federal and State laws, the anticipated annual salary range for this position is as follows.

• Boston, MA: $215,000 to $275,000 

In addition to a standard benefits package, this role may be eligible for additional contingent compensation based on an array of factors, including but not limited to: work performance, geographic location, work experience, education, and qualifications.  Because such contingent compensation is not yet calculable or may be zero ($0) in some circumstances, the above-listed salary range is Nixon Peabody’s good faith estimate of the annual salary it reasonably expects to pay for the position at the time of this posting.     

We are seeking to hire an associate to join our Privacy & Technology Practice Group. Though the group sits in the firm’s Litigation Department, and litigation experience would be considered a plus, the role will focus primarily on privacy compliance and, secondarily, advising clients in connection with cyber incident response.

Qualified candidates will have approximately two to four years of privacy and technology litigation experience. Direct responsibility is required in the following areas: advising clients on cybersecurity incident response, developing system wide data privacy and cyber security plans, experience with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, NY SHIELD Act and other privacy frameworks. Massachusetts and/or local state bar admission is also required.  CIPP-US certification a plus.

The ideal candidate will be a motivated self-starter with stellar academic credentials, superb communication and writing skills, a commitment to excellence, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. 

A career at Nixon Peabody is the opportunity to do work that matters. It’s a chance to use your knowledge to shape what’s ahead, to innovate, to learn at a firm that taps into the power of collaboration and collective thinking.
