About this role

We are looking for a Case Investigation Attorney with 5+ years of securities litigation experience to join our case investigation team and play a meaningful role in identifying and developing new matters for institutional investor clients. You'll be part of a top-ranked plaintiff securities firm that is selective by design—recommending only the strongest cases to clients ranging from small county funds to CalPERS.

• Leveraging AI and data-driven tools creatively to analyze large datasets, identify patterns, and enhance case evaluation
• Preparing internal memoranda, loss analyses, and client-facing summaries for institutional investors
• Collaborating with portfolio monitoring, data analytics, financial experts, and investigators to assess liability theories

Key Requirements

• 5+ years of securities litigation experience (4 years considered for exceptional candidates)—must have actual litigation experience to understand case strength
• Creative, analytical thinker who knows what questions to ask and can dig deep to find answers
• Interest in plaintiff-side work (candidates from large defense firms are highly valued)
• Experience with or willingness to use AI tools and technology platforms for research and analysis
• Stable employment history—no job hoppers
