The successful candidate will have a substantial trial background, including experience developing case strategy, preparing and examining witnesses, arguing significant motions, managing discovery, working with experts, negotiating resolutions, and preparing matters for trial. Experience serving as lead or senior trial counsel on large, complex, multi-party matters is strongly preferred.
