Help wanted: Attorneys with an interest in California’s cutting-edge privacy law, one that’s shaping the national dialogue on digital data regulations. Must be able to defend the inevitable lawsuits, provide free counsel to affected businesses and adjust to still-developing regulations and legislative changes in the space. Pay: Not exactly comparable to Big Law.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra has started the hiring process for lawyers who will help “implement and enforce” the California Consumer Privacy Act. The law, which gives consumers the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information, goes into effect in January.

Job postings on the attorney general’s website seek midlevel deputy attorneys general to work in the consumer law section in the Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco offices. “The initial assignment for these positions will include the enforcement of privacy laws,” the description reads. Becerra’s press office confirmed the new hires will work on the Consumer Privacy Act.
