• Must be a member of the Massachusetts bar.
• At least five (5) years of litigation experience including experience as a criminal prosecutor or defense attorney preferred.

• Exceptional analytical, writing, and oral advocacy skills.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct complex investigations and prosecutions and carry a significant caseload.
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively within a team, including with law enforcement and investigators, victim support personnel and anti‑trafficking stakeholders.
