About the Opportunity

What We're Looking For

• Approximately 7–10 years of litigation experience (exceptional candidates outside this range will also be considered).
• Strong advocacy and courtroom experience.
• A broad litigation background rather than experience limited to one niche area.
• Confidence managing complex files independently.
• Excellent drafting, analytical and strategic thinking skills.
• A practical, business-minded approach to litigation.
• A genuine interest in mentoring junior lawyers.
• Someone who enjoys working in a collaborative, team-oriented environment.
