2025 Privacy & Cybersecurity Fellowship

The Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP Privacy & Cybersecurity Fellowship provides recent law school graduates (or those students who will have graduated by June 2025) and are interested in a career in privacy and cybersecurity law or those lawyers interested in shifting career paths, with hands-on, client-facing experience in connection with compliance, privacy and cybersecurity litigation, and breach response. Fellows will work out of the firm’s Chicago office and gain hands-on experience in an AmLaw 50 firm working with and learning from nationally recognized privacy attorneys, including the lawyer who literally “wrote the book” on data breach, and award-winning privacy class action litigation practitioners, on an array of complex privacy and cybersecurity issues for major corporations. Following the completion of the program in December 2026, fellows will have worked alongside Sheppard Mullin partners and assisted with conducting research, drafting memos and blog posts, preparing presentations, participating in client meetings, and engaging in privacy-related client work. Cover letter with proven interest in privacy and cybersecurity, resume, and law school transcript are required to apply. The Fellowship is set to begin in Fall 2025. Candidates must have graduated from law school (or will have graduated by June 2025) and have passed the Illinois Bar Exam (or will have passed by October 2025). Application deadline: Friday, January 31, 2025 For questions about this program, please contact Gwen Gass at GGass@sheppardmullin.com. #LI-entry #LI-TM1
