This position has potential to sit in Washington DC, Cupertino, CA or Austin, TX (and potentially other locations). 

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish.

Do you love taking on big challenges without precedent? Do you possess a deep knowledge of the legal field and a passion for innovation?

Working for a company that invents entire categories and industries means you’ll be challenged to creatively apply your deep legal expertise to rare and often unexplored aspects of the law. 

We are looking for a senior-level litigator with substantial appellate experience. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can quickly learn Apple’s litigation docket and practices and independently manage complex matters. This role requires a litigator with great judgment, highly efficient time management skills, and strong communication skills who has demonstrated the ability to strategically manage litigation matters while addressing the demands of multiple constituencies.

  • 10-15+ years of major law firm and/or in-house litigation experience, including experience leading matters in multiple subject matter areas.

  • Excellent communication, analytical, organization, and negotiation skills are essential.
Description

As a senior member of Apple's litigation team, you will not be merely monitoring outside counsel. Rather, you will personally be formulating and driving strategy as well as providing counsel to, and managing input from, internal clients on a wide range of novel matters. The position requires a high degree of self-sufficiency and independent judgment. Travel is anticipated. You will operate as part of a supportive and fun team of lawyers, legal specialists and support staff who work closely together to protect Apple's interests.
