About the Opportunity
HireNow Staffing is partnering with a nationally recognized Am Law 100 law firm to identify a seasoned, top-tier Technology, Communications & Media (TechComm) Associate Attorney to support its sophisticated regulatory, litigation, and transactional practice.
This role is ideal for a high-performing associate who wants meaningful responsibility, exposure to cutting-edge technology and communications matters, and the flexibility of a fully remote platform—while working on high-profile issues involving federal agencies, courts, and complex corporate transactions. The practice sits at the intersection of law, policy, innovation, and emerging technologies, advising market-leading clients navigating rapidly evolving regulatory landscapes.

Draft motions, briefs, memoranda, and other litigation materials in federal and administrative proceedings
Assist with depositions, discovery strategy, document review, and case management
Support clients in advancing regulatory, legislative, and policy objectives at the federal level
Advise on regulatory compliance matters affecting technology, communications, and media businesses
Assist with due diligence and regulatory analysis in connection with mergers, acquisitions, and strategic transactions
Collaborate closely with partners and senior attorneys on multi-disciplinary matters involving regulatory, litigation, and transactional issues
Manage multiple workstreams while maintaining precision, responsiveness, and exceptional client service
Required Qualifications (Strictly Enforced)
Law school graduation years: 2021–2023 only
JD or LLM from an ABA-accredited law school
Stellar academic credentials
Training at an Am Law 100 or Am Law 200 firm strongly preferred
Active admission to the District of Columbia Bar or eligibility to obtain admission

Preferred Qualifications (Highly Valued)
Prior experience with FCC proceedings, communications law, or administrative law
Exposure to technology, telecommunications, broadband, media, or emerging technology matters
Experience handling discovery, motion practice, or regulatory investigations
Strong interest in policy-driven legal work at the intersection of law, government, and innovation
Ability to communicate complex regulatory concepts clearly to clients and internal teams
Proven ability to thrive in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments
Why This Role Stands Out
Fully remote role with national-level TechComm work
High-impact matters involving federal agencies, courts, and major industry players
Competitive compensation with bonus and comprehensive benefits
Direct collaboration with leading partners in a premier Am Law 100 practice
Long-term career development within a highly respected regulatory and litigation platform
