Litigation Counsel
DiscordDiscord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.
Discord is looking for an experienced Litigation Counsel to join Discord’s Legal team. Reporting to the Director, Global Litigation and working closely with two Senior Litigation Counsels, you’ll join a lean team where every team member carries real responsibility from day one. We're looking for an experienced litigator who can operate independently across a broad range of matters, with the judgment to triage, strategize, and execute on a diverse caseload. You'll own the individual consumer claims docket, support discovery and briefing on high-stakes matters, and manage IP litigation, all while working closely with cross-functional partners to protect Discord's platform and users.
What you'll be doing
- Own and manage Discord's individual consumer claims docket end-to-end, including consumer arbitrations, state attorney general individual consumer complaints, and Digital Services Act (DSA) complaints
- Partner with litigation teammates on high-stakes matters, including regulatory inquiries, putative class actions, and other complex disputes
- Take ownership of discovery workstreams on major matters, including managing document review, coordinating with internal teams on custodian identification and data preservation, drafting and responding to written discovery, and preparing witnesses for depositions
- Manage trademark, copyright, and other IP litigation matters, including matters involving DMCA-related disputes.
- Contribute to the team's broader efforts to continuously improve in areas of regulatory and enforcement focus, including minor safety, content moderation, and platform liability
- Serve as a versatile member of a lean litigation team, willing to pitch in on matters outside core areas of focus when priorities shift or volume requires it
What you should have
- J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
- 7+ years of combined experience at a law firm and/or in-house legal department, with meaningful exposure to technology or consumer-facing platforms
- Hands-on experience with the full eDiscovery lifecycle, including preservation, collection, processing, review, and production
