  • Corporate governance, shareholder, or partnership disputes
  • Insurance recovery matters, particularly representing policyholders

What We're Looking For

  • Admission to the D.C. Bar
  • Strong academic background and writing skills
  • Prior law firm or clerkship experience
  • Comfort with oral advocacy and independent case handling
  • Experience on both plaintiff- and defense-side matters is a plus
