Role Summary<\/span><\/b>
<\/div>
This is not a paper -only seat.

Candidate Profile<\/span><\/b>
<\/div>
The best fit is a 3 to 5 year associate with real reps in litigation or investigations and a clear government contracts angle. Experience with the FAR, SBA regulations, cost accounting issues, GAO or Court of Federal Claims practice, and FCA or qui tam matters will matter here. A Court of Federal Claims clerkship is a plus.<\/span>

Why This Role<\/span><\/b>
<\/div>
This team gives associates better range than most groups in the space. You can build across disputes, investigations, counseling, and deal support inside a Chambers and Legal 500 recognized national firm that is active in mid -market M&A, invests in formal associate development, offers billable credit for pro bono, and has made a real push into Harvey -backed AI tools.<\/span>
