  • Draft trial briefs, post-trial motions, arbitration briefs, and post-hearing submissions.
  • Participate in complex document review projects for litigation, investigations, and government inquiries.
  • Collaborate with attorneys across the litigation practice to develop effective case strategies and deliver exceptional client service.

Qualifications

  • J.D. from an accredited law school and licensed to practice law.
  • 2–7 years of litigation experience required.

  • Outstanding academic credentials preferred.

Why Join?
