Litigation Counsel

What You'll Do

• Lead Suno's litigation function across its full docket — copyright and IP matters in U.S. federal court and in Europe, plus the company's privacy, employment, commercial, and emerging disputes.
• Manage outside counsel relationships — staffing, budgets, work product, and performance — to deliver results that align with business and product strategy.
• Partner closely with the business affairs and product legal teams to align litigation strategy with commercial deals, product roadmaps, and the company's broader legal posture.
• Build the litigation function from the inside: case management workflows, legal hold and discovery processes, knowledge capture, and reporting that scale as the docket grows.
• Take on strategic legal initiatives at the General Counsel's request — projects that may sit outside any single matter but materially shape Suno's legal foundation.
• Help defend the legal foundation for Creative Entertainment, so we can keep delivering on a mission to make creative fulfillment a daily reality for everyone.
