- Contribute to the development of briefs and other persuasive written submissions for court proceedings.
- Track deadlines, maintain litigation files, and help ensure matters move forward in a timely manner.
- Communicate with attorneys, clients, and other legal team members regarding case updates and required documentation.
- Participate in a hybrid work environment while maintaining consistent collaboration and responsiveness across matters.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- 0-5 years of experience in a law clerk or litigation-focused legal role.
- Background or strong interest in civil litigation, particularly defense-oriented matters.
- Ability to draft motions, briefs, and other legal documents with attention to detail.
- Familiarity with discovery processes and case file management.
- Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills.
- Licensed attorney status (Arizona) is welcome for entry-level attorney candidates, though early-career law clerk applicants will also be considered.
