The Opportunity

Specifically, we are seeking candidates who have experience representing design professionals, developers, and contractors in complex construction defect property cases.  Preferably candidates for this position will have a proven trial track record, and experience at the state and federal level.  Candidates should have excellent organizational skills and be able to manage a caseload independently with appropriate support.

The A&E/CD practice group is team-work based and client focused with the opportunity for client interaction and practice growth.

Strong analytical thinking, legal writing, research, and communication skills are highly valued—and continuously refined—within our litigation groups.
