Description:
Arnold & Porter's Government Contracts & National Security Practice Group is seeking a junior associate with Court of Federal Claims experience for the Washington, D.C. office.
Arnold & Porter's Chambers/Legal 500 Band 1 (market leading) Government Contracts & National Security team has a broad mix of litigation, investigation, export control, cybersecurity, mergers and acquisition, and counseling work. Some examples of the group's recent work include: litigating multi-billion dollar, complex contract award challenges for large aerospace and defense companies and handling the negotiation of novel agreements with the government (including OTAs, CRADAs, and TIAs). We also frequently advise both recipients and subrecipients of grants (including the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act) in the interpretation of grant requirements and compliance, as well as federal audits, enforcement actions, and other controversies with awarding agencies. The work is exciting, often quite relevant to ongoing world issues, and fast paced. Due to the nature of the work and composition of the group, associates receive significant opportunities for responsibility at a very junior level.
Qualified applicants for this position must have a minimum of one year of prior legal experience in the field and recent clerkship experience for the Court of Federal Claims. Applicants must have a demonstrated interest in government contacts law; academic training in government contracts law; strong research, writing and analytic skills; an ability to work independently and creatively; and an ability to work successfully as part of a team. While we expect the junior associate will be involved in all aspects of the practice, including litigation and investigations, particular consideration will be given to candidates with an interest in and working knowledge of work related to mergers, acquisitions, and other types of transactions involving government contractors (e.g., experience with due diligence, asset and stock purchase agreements, and novations). All applicants should have excellent academic credentials and references.
Applicants must currently be licensed, or currently be eligible to become licensed, to practice law in Washington, D.C.
