When the Chief of Litigation at a global firm that advises companies on sustainability and risk management strategies prepared to take maternity leave, the company sought a full-time, USA-based interim in-house litigation attorney who could step into the role during her leave and manage the company’s litigation docket in both the United States and internationally. The ideal candidate needed extensive in-house experience and the ability to provide high-level strategic litigation support across multiple jurisdictions.
