Seeking a junior to mid-level associate to join a Medical Devices team within a national food, drug and medical device practice based in Washington, D.C. The role focuses on FDA regulatory work across premarket and post‑market matters, and offers exposure to digital health, AI/ML‑enabled technologies, SaMD, diagnostics, and traditional device products.

The associate will support regulatory strategy and submissions (e.g., 510(k), De Novo, IDEs, PMAs), respond to FDA inquiries, and advise on post‑market compliance including quality systems, recalls, adverse event reporting, and enforcement matters. The role involves cross‑border coordination with colleagues in other jurisdictions on evolving regulatory frameworks.

This is a client‑facing, research‑intensive position that rewards thoughtful judgment, strong writing and analytical skills, and the ability to translate complex technical and regulatory issues into practical advice.

  • Juris Doctor from an ABA‑accredited law school.
  • Admission to the District of Columbia Bar or eligibility to waive into the D.C. Bar.
  • Demonstrated interest in FDA regulatory law; prior experience on FDA medical device matters strongly preferred.
  • Scientific, engineering, health, or biotechnology background preferred but not required.
  • Excellent writing, analytical, and communication skills; collaborative, client‑focused work style.
