    Overview

    Whistler Partners is partnering with a nationally recognized technology transactions practice seeking a mid-to-senior level associate (4–8 years) to join its Washington, DC office.

    This team operates at the forefront of emerging technologies, advising clients across fintech, financial services, artificial intelligence, cloud services, outsourcing, digital assets, and advertising. The practice sits at the intersection of IP, data strategy, product counseling, and complex commercial contracting in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.

    Why this role?

    This is a rare opportunity to build a cutting-edge tech transactions practice focused on AI systems, fintech infrastructure, and data commercialization. The team handles sophisticated, strategic transactions—not just routine commercial agreements—and serves as trusted advisors to innovative companies navigating complex technological and regulatory shifts.

    You'll work on high-value licensing, outsourcing, and product counseling matters while staying close to regulatory developments in AI, open banking, and digital assets. This seat is ideal for someone who enjoys blending deep contractual work with forward-looking technology strategy.

    • Structure, draft, and negotiate strategic technology transactions involving fintech, AI systems, cloud services, and software platforms.
    • Draft and negotiate vendor, supplier, and outsourcing agreements.
    • Advise clients on intellectual property and regulatory issues relating to data, open banking, AI model development, and content use.
    • Draft and negotiate agreements involving software licensing, commercialization, technology development, and IP rights.
    • Provide product counseling and guidance on advertising, marketing, and promotional law for innovative tech launches.
    • Negotiate AI system licenses and content licenses for AI model training.
    • Monitor emerging regulatory frameworks impacting AI, fintech, payments, and advanced technologies.

    Top Requirements

    • 4–8 years of experience in technology transactions, licensing, fintech, IP, or outsourcing.
    • Strong understanding of commercialization of advanced technologies, including payments, AI, cloud computing, and software.
    • Experience negotiating complex IP, data access, and licensing arrangements.
    • Background advising fintech, financial institutions, or digital asset clients.
    • Exceptional drafting, negotiation, and communication skills.
    • Ability to manage multiple sophisticated matters in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
    • JD and admission to practice in the relevant jurisdiction.

    Preferred Experience

    • Experience negotiating AI system and AI training content licenses.
    • Familiarity with advertising and marketing law as applied to technology companies.
    • Experience advising on IP aspects of M&A and related transactions.
    • Exposure to fintech, payments, cloud services, AI, government contracts, outsourcing, or digital asset clients.

    Compensation

    • $225,000 – $330,000 base salary, depending on experience.
    • Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, life insurance, paid holidays, sick time, long-term disability, and 401(k).

    TL;DR

    Mid–senior tech transactions role in DC focused on AI systems, fintech, cloud, and advanced data deals. High-end licensing and commercialization work with strong regulatory adjacency. $225K–$330K base.
