About the role
Commercial Litigation Attorney (Boutique Trial Powerhouse)
The Opportunity
Join a premier, Tier-1 boutique trial firm that consistently outmaneuvers the nation’s largest Big Law outfits. This is not a "document review" role; we are a lean, elite team of "old-fashioned barristers" who live for high-stakes, bet-the-company litigation. If you want to be a trial lawyer, not just a litigator, this is where you belong.
The Work
You will handle sophisticated, high-tech IP, partnership disputes, and complex commercial litigation for a client roster that includes Fortune 100 giants and visionary founders. Every move we make is oriented toward trial, ensuring our associates gain experience and responsibility that takes years to achieve elsewhere.
