• Draft high-level pleadings, substantive motions, and discovery.
• Participate actively in depositions, oral arguments, and trial preparation alongside veteran trial attorneys.

Qualifications:

• 1 to 5 years of commercial litigation experience.
• Graduate of a Top 30 Law School; if outside the Top 30, candidates must be at the top of their class.
• Active member in good standing with the State Bar of California.
