About us: Gupta Wessler LLP is a small, one-of-a-kind law firm specializing in Supreme Court, appellate, and complex litigation on behalf of plaintiffs and public interest clients. Our cases span a wide range of issues, including consumers’ and workers’ rights, class actions, access to the courts, civil rights, and constitutional and administrative law. We are go-to appellate advocates for trial lawyers nationwide, serving as a counterweight to the corporate dominance of the Supreme Court and appellate bar. In addition, the firm’s lawyers run the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic at Harvard Law School. Through all of our efforts, we aim to help shape the law in ways that enhance justice and improve people’s lives.

About the position: Gupta Wessler seeks an associate attorney to join our small, collegial team. We’re looking for star candidates who have demonstrated exceptional writing and editing skills, the capacity to think rigorously and creatively about the law, strong advocacy instincts, collaborative spirit, and a genuine passion for public interest work. Judicial clerkship experience is strongly preferred and at least one year of practice experience (not including clerkships) is required. The position can be located in either our Washington, DC or San Fransisco office. The salary range for this position is $135,000 to $160,000 or more, depending on experience.

How to apply: We are only accepting applications sent to recruiting@guptawessler.com. Please send a cover letter, resume, writing samples, and three references to recruiting@guptawessler.com. Please send multiple writing samples. We would like to see full documents, not excerpts, including advocacy work for which you were principally responsible. Please also include hyperlinks to oral argument recordings, if applicable. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed immediately. Please do not apply over Linkedin. No telephone inquiries, please. If you have any questions, you may reach out to Abigail Roston, abigailr@guptawessler.com.
