What they are looking for

  • There is no maximum experience level for this search; the priority is depth of relevant litigation experience, strong judgment, and the ability to operate with independence.
  • This search is focused exclusively on attorneys with business litigation experience.
  • Candidates coming primarily from personal injury, insurance defense, or similar non-business litigation backgrounds will not be aligned with the firm's requirements.

Everything above is the hiring company’s own words, with the company name taken out. The name, the team, and the interview steps come with the first conversation.
