Step into a team at the forefront of government enforcement defense and internal investigations—where mentorship meets meaningful courtroom experience and cross-office collaboration drives results. This is a standout opportunity for a junior to midlevel associate to deepen their white collar and regulatory investigations skills at one of the most respected litigation platforms in the U.S.

This group has built a reputation for representing companies and executives in their most sensitive matters, often involving the Department of Justice, SEC, and state attorneys general. Associates are deeply involved from day one, supporting complex internal investigations, managing regulatory responses, and contributing to litigation strategy in high-stakes criminal and civil matters.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Nationwide Platform, Regional Strength:

Benefit from a truly national litigation platform, while working in close-knit and high-performing offices. Associates get the best of both worlds - major matters and meaningful mentorship.

Hands-On Investigations Work:

Support internal investigations, interface with government agencies, and help manage responses to subpoenas, CID requests, and government inquiries. The work spans tech, healthcare, defense, and beyond.

Litigation with a White Collar Lens:

Sharpen your courtroom skills in cases with regulatory and reputational sensitivity. Whether defending against enforcement actions or guiding compliance responses, you’ll build well-rounded advocacy skills.

Clerkship-Oriented Development:

The group values associates with federal or state clerkship experience and invests in their continued growth. The writing, strategy, and courtroom exposure you’ve already gained will be amplified here.

Strategic Mentorship and Career Investment:

The firm has been celebrated internally for pairing substantive training with business development guidance—critical for associates looking to chart a long-term litigation career in white collar or government enforcement defense.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 2–4 years of experience in white collar, internal investigations, or regulatory litigation
• Exposure to federal or state enforcement actions, SEC or DOJ matters, and complex civil or criminal litigation
• Strong academic background; law review or journal experience preferred
• Federal or state supreme court clerkship strongly preferred

About Whistler Partners

Matchmakers, Not Headhunters

Whistler Partners is a boutique matchmaking firm focused on counseling the best and the brightest attorneys over the course of their careers. We believe that the right move comes from working closely with talent to curate their long-term career paths. When it comes to career advice, what matters is not the size of the agency but the strength of your individual recruiter.

We readily admit that we are elite and only work with the best – after all, a little elitism is okay when it comes to your career. Employers love us because we are picky about whom we represent, and attorneys love us because we get them their dream jobs.
