eMerge Senior Attorney

Troutman Pepper Locke's eMerge offers clients integrated technology and legal solutions to address complex data-driven challenges in litigation, transactional and compliance matters, and government investigations.

Our innovative team of tech-literate attorneys and technologists collaborate to deliver solutions tailored to the unique circumstances of each matter but informed by experience across thousands of other engagements.

eMerge is seeking an experienced Senior Attorney with minimum five years of experience to join any of our offices in a privileged lead capacity.

Candidates should have experience serving as the primary point of contact for privilege-related issues arising during document review, designing and implementing privilege sweeps and screens to identify and protect privilege material, consulting with case teams on privilege questions, issues, and strategy throughout the review lifecycle, ensuring all review workflows follow standard eMerge privilege protocols and procedures, drafting and finalizing privilege logs upon completion of review, and escalating complex privilege determinations to senior eMerge attorneys as appropriate.

Strong candidates will have demonstrated technical proficiency along with direct experience overseeing and conducting quality control of AI-assisted privilege reviews, including familiarity with the tools and methodologies that support these workflows.

Candidates must be licensed and in good standing in the state that they practice. Candidates should also possess:

• In-depth knowledge of eDiscovery laws, regulations, and industry best practices.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain complex legal and technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluency with preservation, filtering, and export capabilities of corporate messaging, collaboration, and productivity solutions, including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
• Expertise with Relativity is strongly preferred.

The salary range for this position is $115,000 - $140,000 dependent on relevant years of experience. When submitting candidate materials, please provide documentation confirming your candidate has authorized you to present them for this role at Troutman Pepper Locke.
