3. Experience either handling or managing employment and general civil litigation required; general and professional liability experience is a plus.
4. Experience with arbitrations and all stages of litigation, including trial.
5. Ability to proactively approach all aspects of litigation, including discovery, motion practice, witness preparation, settlement negotiations, and trial and appellate strategies.

7. Resourcefulness, strong intellectual curiosity, and ability to quickly learn complex systems and their legal framework.
8. Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with proven experience in relationship building and partnering.
9. Experience working with healthcare entities is a plus.
