• Conduct legal research and draft memoranda, motions, and pleadings
• Represent clients in hearings, mediations, and (as applicable) trial
• Develop and execute litigation strategies in collaboration with senior attorneys
• Handle disputes involving real estate, contracts, and business matters

• Strong understanding of contracts and/or litigation process
• Ability to manage multiple matters without things slipping through the cracks
• Excellent communication skills-clear, direct, and responsive
