Antitrust/Regulatory Litigation Counsel

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? As a part of our commercial litigation team, you’ll help provide legal support for all our products and businesses.

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 litigator with great judgment, excellent communication skills and a demonstrated ability to manage the day-to-day progress of antitrust and regulatory litigation matters. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who has experience in handling competition-related cases and other regulatory litigation across Europe and beyond. This role requires a litigator with highly efficient time management skills and the ability to strategically run litigation matters from beginning to end.

As a member of Apple's commercial litigation team, you will not be merely monitoring outside counsel. Rather, you will personally be formulating and driving strategy as well as working with a number of cross-functional teams and stakeholders across all product areas. The position requires a high degree of self-sufficiency, independent judgment, and a trial-focused approach. 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. The role sits at Apple's offices in London with a vibrant set of attorneys supporting other aspects of Apple’s business. The candidate will need to both work well with that team while also working with remote teams in the US and around the world.
