• Draft pleadings and motions, and manage discovery
• Prepare for and attend hearings and mediations
• Advise clients through difficult, high-stakes situations

• At least 1 year of civil litigation experience, including courtroom work
• An active Colorado law license
• Sound judgment, clear writing and a calm presence with clients
