Effective Teamwork and Communication - Focusing on a growth mindset, being open to developing strong interpersonal communication skills to create a team greater than the sum of its parts, and feeling energized about co-mentoring associates and staff.

Requirements:

Comfortable with depositions, motion practice, discovery, and trial prep
Bonus points: Background in implementing systems or workflows, creative legal theories that push boundaries, or cases that created broader impact beyond individual client recovery

What we offer:

Competitive income with a commission structure, health benefits, and a retirement plan
Support for work-life balance

Collaborative environment where your ideas shape how we practice
Mission-driven work focused on real structural change
