- 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
