The team expects you to take depositions, argue motions, and manage case strategy with meaningful autonomy.
What this firm is looking for
- 4 to 8 years of commercial and general litigation experience at a law firm
- Proven ability to handle depositions, contested hearings, and dispositive motion practice independently
- Strong legal writing and analytical skills demonstrated through briefs and pleadings
- Active bar license in the state of practice
- Experience managing discovery and day-to-day case strategy with limited oversight
