• Manage complex discovery and dispositive motions
• Represent clients in business tort, contract, and real estate litigation
• Prepare cases for trial or arbitration alongside senior litigators
• Coordinate with insurance and coverage teams on litigation strategy
• Work closely with developers, carriers, and institutional clients

What We're Looking For:

• Strong writing, research, and courtroom skills
• Experience handling complex discovery and motion practice
• California Bar admission required
• Prior exposure to arbitration, construction, or insurance-related disputes is a plus
