Who You Are

You’re a competitive litigator looking for full exposure and fair compensation for every hour you work.

You’re trusted by clients, respected by your peers, and comfortable taking the lead on high-stakes matters. You don’t just react, you think several moves ahead and turn complex challenges into smart, practical outcomes.

You value collaboration, take ownership of your work, and strive to deliver results clients actually appreciate.

You’re not looking for just another role, you want the autonomy, support, and platform to do your best work.

· Knowledge of NetDocuments preferred.

· Ability to communicate clearly and confidently with clients, opposing counsel, and the court.

· Experience developing strategy early and adjusting it as cases evolve—you think several steps ahead.

· Strong sense of ownership and accountability over your cases, clients, and outcomes.

· Experience handling business, employment, and real estate litigation matters.
