• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission in at least one U.S. state.

• Proven ability to lead multiple complex projects independently, exercise strong business judgment, and deliver practical advice on aggressive timelines.

• Collaborative, low-ego, roll-up-your-sleeves approach and excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
