• Mentor junior attorneys and contribute to the firm’s legal thought leadership
• Help shape the culture and systems of a new, agile, trial-focused firm

• A strategic thinker who thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving environment
• Passion for law and motion work and litigation with a desire to be part of a firm that’s redefining litigation excellence

Why Join Us?

• Work on high-profile, intellectually engaging cases
• Competitive compensation and growth potential
• Opportunity to mentor, lead, and innovate
