District court or appellate court clerkship experience preferred but not required. Primary responsibilities include developing case strategy, researching and drafting dispositive and contested motions, taking and defending depositions, directing discovery and expert workup, and preparing and examining witnesses at trial, arbitration, and evidentiary hearings. More senior candidates will serve as senior members of trial teams, own the pretrial record, and supervise and develop junior associates. Applicants are encouraged to describe their trial experience specifically in their cover letter.
