Consumer Protection Litigation and Compliance Associate

Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, is seeking an associate with three to six years of litigation experience to join our growing team.

We are looking for candidates who are excited about taking on more responsibility. Candidates must have demonstrated consumer class action experience. Experience with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, state mini-TCPA laws, and automatic renewal laws is a plus. Experience in other complex litigation areas, including consumer protection, unfair competition, and false and deceptive advertising, is preferred. Familiarity with investigations and proceedings initiated by the Federal Trade Commission, Federal Communications Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and other federal and state regulatory agencies is a plus.

Ideally, candidates will have hands-on litigation experience and will want to gain further responsibility and experience in the following areas: handling discovery and litigation discovery disputes, taking and defending depositions, conducting witness interviews, drafting and arguing pleadings and motions, and managing cases on a day-to-day basis. Excellent legal writing and research skills are required.

Manatt’s consumer protection team works collaboratively across offices and industry sectors and provides an integrated and cohesive approach that covers all of the law’s implications and ramifications, from ensuring compliance to fending off or defeating class actions to handling insurance coverage issues.
