- Track multiple matters with competing deadlines and communicate promptly with clients about timing, status, and requirements.
- Work closely with attorneys and support staff to meet discrete litigation objectives on short timelines, producing careful work with limited supervision.
- Support both scalable, programmatic legal work and high-impact strategic complex litigation for large institutional clients.
- Contribute to matters involving technology companies, including ecommerce, consumer-facing businesses, and retail.
What You Bring
- At least five years of litigation experience in a mid-sized or large law firm and/or representing large institutional clients.
