  • Analyze cases and assist in developing litigation strategy
  • Participate in trial preparation and trial 
  • Attend and assist with mediations, (commensurate with experience)
  • Work directly with partners and senior attorneys on complex matters

What We Offer


  • Competitive salary, commensurate with experience and demonstrated ability
  • Direct mentorship and hands-on litigation experience with experienced trial attorneys
  • Early and meaningful responsibility, including court appearances and client interaction
  • Exposure to complex, high-value cases and sophisticated legal issues
  • A supportive, collegial, and team-oriented culture
  • Firm-paid gym membership to support health and wellness
  • International travel opportunities, including travel to London to meet with clients and participate in continuing education and client-focused programs
  • A long-term growth environment for attorneys who are motivated, reliable, and committed to excellence
