Legal Counsel (Litigation)
The Role
We need someone to manage our dispute and litigation portfolio—all of it, from day one. You’ll handle the full lifecycle: intake, discovery, document collection and production, vendor coordination, insurance interface, and resolution. The goal is to resolve disputes to the advantage of the business—efficiently and effectively – through ADR if possible, but in court if necessary.
You’ll work closely with business owners on their disputes and with colleagues responsible for risk management across the company. We need someone who understands process and can help the business manage and resolve its disputes.
What You’ll Do
You’ll join a small legal team—4 attorneys (including the U.S. General Counsel) and 1 paralegal.
If you have any questions please contact Jason Alan Jaure (jason.jaure@bilfinger.com).
Bilfinger is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to ethnicity, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or other characteristics protected by law.
