• Communicate regularly with a large number of clients.
• Take and defend depositions.
• Prepare witnesses and clients for depositions and hearings.
• Confer with adversaries.

• Supervise paralegals or law clerks as cases grow.
• Coordinate with third parties, including co-counsel, experts, and service providers.
• Travel to and participate in conferences, mediations, and hearings, as needed.

• Bar admission in New York is required; California is strongly preferred. Admission in any additional state is a plus.
• High executive function.
• The drive to find, make, and win cases.
• Both excellent legal writing and stylish nonlegal writing.
