- Clear path to develop your litigation skills with increasing courtroom responsibility
- Performance-based bonus potential

Note: This role requires at least 1 to 2 years of civil litigation experience. Candidates must be licensed to practice law and have a working knowledge of the litigation process from inception through resolution, including court appearances and motion practice.
