The attorney will support cases involving complex commercial disputes, white-collar matters, government investigations, healthcare fraud, employment-related litigation, trade secrets, and founder disputes while taking on increasingly substantive responsibility as they develop.
The ideal candidate is a strong writer and confident communicator who is intellectually curious, internally motivated, and ready to think beyond assigned tasks to anticipate what a case needs next.
