Role OverviewThe Senior Counsel role involves managing litigation, working independently, and having access to leaders who are genuinely invested in your success. The role requires an active California Bar license and 8+ years of solid litigation experience.
What You Will Do
As a Senior Counsel, you will develop a case theme, handle court appearances, depositions, briefs, and trials, and work as part of a team with all levels of experience. You will also cultivate relationships with clients and provide leadership and direction to less experienced attorneys.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You will thrive in this role if you value autonomy, direct communication, meaningful feedback, and leaders who will make time to help you become an even stronger lawyer. You should be confident enough to work independently but still recognize the value of another experienced lawyer challenging your thinking.
