Responsibilities

The ideal candidate will have 4-8 years of experience developing litigation strategy, supervising litigation teams and vendors, managing client relationships, drafting and responding to discovery and initial pleadings, drafting and arguing motions, as well as conducting witness interviews and taking and defending depositions.
