The firm is seeking an attorney who can quickly learn internal systems and processes, begin transitioning into key matters alongside senior leadership, and provide essential support during and potentially beyond the coverage period.

Partnering with internal operations, legal tech, and client teams to ensure legal strategies are implemented with precision and efficiency

The firm utilizes a cloud-based eDiscovery platform and is looking for someone who can get up to speed quickly on the tech side while integrating well with legal and operational teams.

Basic Requirements for the Senior Litigation Associate Attorney:

A minimum of 2–5 years of litigation experience, ideally with hands-on eDiscovery responsibilities
Strong writing skills and a practical approach to legal problem-solving
Enjoys working in a hybrid office model and values face-to-face collaboration
Tech-savvy and can easily navigate legal software and data tools
Works well with cross-functional teams and contributes positively to team culture
Strong academic credentials from an ABA-accredited law school
Licensed to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
Outstanding professional references

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, building strong client relationships, and being part of a collaborative team effort.
