• Help manage discovery tasks, including reviewing documents, preparing responses, and organizing case materials.

• Contribute to the development of briefs and other persuasive written submissions for court proceedings.

• Track deadlines, maintain litigation files, and help ensure matters move forward in a timely manner.

• Communicate with attorneys, clients, and other legal team members regarding case updates and required documentation.

• Participate in a hybrid work environment while maintaining consistent collaboration and responsiveness across matters.

• 0-5 years of experience in a law clerk or litigation-focused legal role.

• Background or strong interest in civil litigation, particularly defense-oriented matters.

• Ability to draft motions, briefs, and other legal documents with attention to detail.

• Familiarity with discovery processes and case file management.

• Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills.

• Licensed attorney status (Arizona) is welcome for entry-level attorney candidates, though early-career law clerk applicants will also be considered.
