- Junior‑level attorneys (3–5 years) and senior‑level attorneys (5 years) are encouraged to apply
- Strong litigation, advocacy, and negotiation skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
- Organized, analytical, and comfortable managing multiple cases in a fast‑paced environment
