Associate Attorney – Consumer Class Action & Mass Arbitration
The Associate Attorney Role
We’re seeking an attorney with 2-4 years of litigation experience to join our growing team. (Exceptional candidates outside this range will be considered.) You’ll work directly with the managing attorney to develop and run class action and mass arbitration cases. You will touch every part of our litigation cycle, from case generation through briefing, discovery, depositions, attending hearings, arguing motions, and trial preparation. Over time, you’ll be expected to independently manage your own docket of cases.
The salary is between $140,000 and $170,000, commensurate with experience and other job-related factors permitted by law.
- Conduct legal and factual research to support litigation and new case development.
- Draft everything needed in and around litigation.
- Aid and lead discovery strategy.
- Argue motions before judges and arbitrators.
- Communicate regularly with a large number of clients. Draft internal memoranda summarizing research findings.
- Take and defend depositions.
- Prepare witnesses and clients for depositions and hearings.
- Confer with adversaries.
- Supervise paralegals or law clerks as cases grow.
- Cookordination with third parties, including co-counsel, experts, and service providers.
- Travel to and participate in conferences, mediations, and hearings, as needed.
Qualifications and Qualities
- Bar admission in New York is required; California is strongly preferred. Admission in any additional state is a plus.
- High executive function.
- The drive to find, make, and win cases.
- Both excellent legal writing and stylish nonlegal writing.
- Experience as a judicial law clerk is a plus, as is pre-law professional experience.
