After graduating law school, Rosenkranz clerked for Judge Frank H. Easterbrook of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and for Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz was on a list the Trump White House sent to Schumer and Gillibrand in July that included three other names for the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, where there were two vacancies: The other names were US District Judge Richard J. Sullivan; Matthew McGill, a partner at the law firm Gibson Dunn in Washington and Michael H. Park, a partner at the law firm Consovoy McCarthy Park in New York.

Rosenkranz has filed numerous briefs with, and presented oral arguments before, the Supreme Court. In 2013, the National Law Journal featured Rosenkranz's Supreme Court brief that argued that Missouri v. Holland was wrongly decided in Bond v. United States. Eight years prior to Bond v.
