A number of our attorneys have made the move from in-house roles and are thriving here — our billable hour structure and culture were built with that transition in mind.

• Track record of successful in‑house‑to‑firm transitions
• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and long‑term disability coverage
• Matching 401(k) with profit‑sharing plan
• Generous PTO, sick leave, and paid holidays

This role supports two partners who specialize in data privacy, advising technology, SaaS, and AI companies on privacy and cybersecurity compliance, and contributing to data privacy work across commercial contracts and M&A transactions.

• Advise clients of all sizes – from innovative startups to Fortune 500 companies – on privacy and cybersecurity compliance, including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and emerging AI and automated decision‑making regulations
• Draft and negotiate data privacy provisions in commercial contracts — data processing agreements, SaaS agreements, and IP licensing
• Support M&A transactions on privacy and data security diligence
• Assist with implementation of privacy and AI compliance programs and internal governance policies
• Manage data breach preparedness, response, and internal compliance investigations

Looking for:

• Colorado Bar Admission, or willingness to become licensed
