• Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal clients and stakeholders through effective communication and a solution-oriented approach.

What You'll Bring:

• 2+ years of experience in litigation, with a focus on one or more of the following areas—unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, false advertising, privacy and/or intellectual property law.
• A law degree from an accredited institution
• Must be licensed to practice in one or more US jurisdiction.
• Exceptional writing, research, and analytical skills.
• Experience in litigation, including motion drafting and discovery responses.
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently as well as collaboratively with our legal team on larger matters.
• Demonstrated interest and understanding of competition, consumer protection, advertising, and/or intellectual property laws and regulations.
• Prior experience with legal technology tools and case management software is a plus.
• A proactive, detail-oriented approach with excellent problem-solving abilities.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate complex legal concepts to clients clearly.
• Effective time management, prioritization and organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Proven ability to handle multiple priorities in a timely and professional manner, along with a commitment to provide clients with high-quality services.
• Must have capability to exercise independent judgment and discretion.
• Proficiency in Spanish is a plus but is not required. #LI-REMOTE
