  • Handle discovery, depositions, mediations, and hearings.
  • File legal documents in state and federal portals.
  • Negotiate settlements and attend conferences.
  • Collaborate with supervising attorneys on legal strategies.
  • Maintain consistent communication with clients and opposing counsel.

    • Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.

  • Passion for advocacy and client service.
  • Employment law or civil litigation experience preferred but not required.
  • Bilingual (English / Spanish) a plus.
