Requirements:

  • 6-12+ years of California civil litigation experience
  • Substantial experience handling business or real estate litigation matters
  • Strong motion practice, discovery, and deposition skills
  • Trial or arbitration experience in a lead or second-chair capacity
  • Excellent legal writing, oral advocacy, and strategic thinking skills
