About The Position

We are seeking a Consumer Litigation Counsel (General Litigation or Labor Employment Litigation preferred) with single plaintiff litigation experience.

As a consumer litigation Counsel in the Litigation/Labor & Employment practices, you’ll have the opportunity to work on interesting, challenging, and groundbreaking cases in collaboration with senior attorneys. ​ You will manage high volume single plaintiff consumer litigation cases, working directly with opposing counsel, drafting motions and pleadings, negotiating settlement, handling court appearance, and preparing the case for trial.
