Associates in this role will work closely with partners on a wide variety of matters, including disputes involving purchase and sale agreements, easements, boundary disputes, title issues, development projects, construction matters, financing arrangements, and commercial lease disputes. Associates will have meaningful responsibility on matters, opportunities for direct client interaction, and significant involvement in case strategy. The associate may also support the firm’s broader commercial litigation practice as needed.

Candidates must have excellent analytical, written, verbal, and interpersonal skills, as well as strong academic credentials. Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from an accredited law school and active law license in a U.S. jurisdiction in good standing required.
