Key Qualifications:
  • Minimum of 3 years of litigation experience, specifically representing companies and/or financial institutions in matters involving contracts, loan agreements, mortgages, or leases.

  • Opportunity to work on sophisticated commercial litigation within a nationally respected AmLaw 100 platform.
