• Has played an active role in developing a disputed record, including compelling documents through discovery motions and running investigations that changed the direction of a case

• Must be based in Houston, TX and work fully on-site (hard filter — no remote)

• Strong live presentation and communication skills — must interview well in person with both Partners

• Experience with class or collective action litigation (plaintiff or defense side)

• JD from an accredited law school with active bar membership in good standing
