  • Participate in case strategy and client counseling
  • Manage day-to-day aspects of complex litigation matters

Why This Opportunity?

As an integral member of the team, this is an ideal opportunity for an associate who wants to accelerate their development as a litigator. Associates receive substantial responsibility, direct client exposure, and the opportunity to build practical litigation skills through active participation in high-stakes disputes.

Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of litigation experience
  • Strong academic credentials and legal writing skills
  • Experience with motion practice, discovery, and case management preferred
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment
