Antitrust work rarely announces itself as urgent until it suddenly is — a merger filing deadline that snuck up on a client with no in-house counsel, a regulator asking questions a company can't quite answer yet. We're looking for a
Remote Antitrust Attorney who's steady in those moments, and who'd rather work from a home office or a co-working space than commute to one.
Salary for this role is
$144,221 per year, fully remote, no relocation involved.
What the work looks like
You'd be reviewing mergers and joint ventures for competition risk, advising companies on compliance with the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act, and occasionally stepping into an FTC inquiry or a monopolization investigation to represent a client directly. Some weeks lean heavily on transactional review. Others put you in front of regulators or opposing counsel. The mix keeps things from getting repetitive, though it also means you can't really plan your week too far in advance.
- Review proposed transactions and joint ventures for antitrust exposure before they move forward
- Advise clients on compliance with federal competition law, including merger notification requirements
- Represent companies in regulatory investigations and, when needed, in litigation
- Coordinate with agencies such as the FTC during active inquiries
- Translate regulatory risk into terms a CEO or board can actually use to make a decision
- Flag potential issues early enough that legal review doesn't become a bottleneck on deal timelines
Background we're looking for
The minimum here is a
Doctoral degree — a Juris Doctor or its equivalent — plus an active law license in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. You'll also need at least
4 years of hands-on antitrust or competition law experience, whether that came from a firm, a regulatory agency, or in-house work.
Beyond the credentials, this role rewards people who can hold two things at once: a genuine command of Sherman Act and Clayton Act frameworks, and the patience to explain what those frameworks mean to someone who's never read a statute in their life. If you've defended a client through an investigation, or advised a startup through a merger filing under time pressure, you already know the rhythm this job runs on.
Core requirements
- Working knowledge of federal antitrust law, including Sherman Act, Clayton Act, and FTC regulatory frameworks
- Direct experience advising on or litigating antitrust matters
- Comfort working independently while staying closely coordinated with a distributed team
- Strong written and verbal communication, especially with non-legal stakeholders
Good to have, not mandatory
- Experience across multiple industries — tech, healthcare, manufacturing, and similar
- Prior work with international competition regimes
- A track record of mentoring junior attorneys or newer team members
A recent example of the work
Not long ago, someone on our team helped a mid-sized manufacturer through a monopolization probe. The client was bracing for reputational damage. Careful prep and early engagement with regulators led to the case being closed without penalties. That's fairly representative of what this role tends to demand — less about winning arguments in the abstract, more about steering a client through a genuinely stressful process and getting them out the other side intact.
How the team operates
We run on short weekly calls rather than long meetings, plus shared docs and async updates for everything that doesn't need a live conversation. Senior attorneys make time for mentorship without it feeling forced — junior team members get real guidance, not just an open-door policy nobody uses. If you're researching companies through job boards like Naukri Mitra, this is one of the few remote-first legal teams where the "remote-first" label actually holds up in practice, not just in the posting.
Compensation and benefits
- Annual salary of $144,221
- Flexible working hours, structured around your own schedule rather than fixed office hours
- Generous paid time off
- Funded professional development, including conference attendance and advanced certifications
- Mentorship access for attorneys earlier in their careers
Who tends to do well here
People who like sitting with ambiguity rather than resolving it too quickly. People who can sit across from a nervous client mid-investigation and stay calm without pretending the situation is smaller than it is. If you've ever wanted to be the person a business leader calls before making a risky move — not after — this role gives you that seat.
Where this can go
Attorneys on this team have moved into cross-border competition work, taken on larger caseloads with more regulatory complexity, and stepped into mentoring roles for newer hires. None of that is scripted or guaranteed — it depends on what you're aiming for and how the work develops, but the path is genuinely there if you want it.
Applying
Send your resume along with a short note describing one antitrust matter you handled that you're proud of — what made it difficult, and how you got the client through it. That tells us more than a formal cover letter would.
This position is open to remote applicants in the United States, India, and other eligible regions. Specific location eligibility is confirmed during the application process.
