Senior eDiscovery Attorney

Overview

An international law firm is expanding its eDiscovery and advanced review practice, supporting complex litigation and investigations where technology and defensibility are critical. This is a senior, hands-on role for an attorney who operates at a strategic level - designing workflows and leading on TAR and AI-assisted review.

You’ll play a central role in shaping how advanced review technologies - including TAR, analytics, and Generative AI - are defensibly deployed across high-stakes litigation and investigations. The role combines technical depth, legal judgment, and leadership, with significant visibility across partners, clients, and firm leadership.

This is a hybrid role, 4 days per week in the office.

• Design, build, and manage advanced TAR and analytics workflows at scale, including sampling, validation, statistical defensibility, and metrics.
• Act as a subject-matter authority on how established TAR methodologies inform and evolve into Generative AI–driven review strategies.
• Lead and oversee large, complex document reviews, managing associates, contract attorneys, review teams, and litigation technology professionals.
• Own privilege strategy end-to-end, including privilege review management, privilege log drafting, negotiation, and defensible methodology design.
• Advise on and manage eDiscovery budgets, forecasting costs across matters of varying size, scope, and risk profile.
• Evaluate, select, and collaborate with eDiscovery service providers, including review of vendor contracts, statements of work, and RFP responses.
• Partner with litigation teams and firm leadership on third-party subpoenas, investigations, and internal legal needs.
• Train and mentor associates and litigation teams on eDiscovery best practices, with a particular emphasis on privilege law and defensibility.

• 7+ years of dedicated eDiscovery experience, ideally combined with active litigation practice at a peer or law firm.
• Deep, demonstrable expertise in TAR, analytics, validation, and review statistics.
• Strong command of privilege law, privilege review management, and privilege log negotiation.
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams through complex, high-pressure reviews.
• Strategic mindset - someone who thinks about why a workflow is defensible, not just how to run it.
• Excellent communicator and collaborator, with the credibility to advise senior attorneys and clients.
• Admission and good standing in the relevant U.S. jurisdiction.

• True strategic seat at the table - not a back-office support function.
• Opportunity to shape firm-wide thinking on AI, TAR, and defensible review practices.
• Exposure to elite matters, marquee clients, and cutting-edge legal technology.
• Backed by leadership that is genuinely invested in eDiscovery as a core practice, not an afterthought.
• A culture that is rare to see with a team that has matured as the firm has grown, with active tenure across the board, unlike any other
