Why This Opportunity Stands Out

In the heart of New York City's legal hub, this firm is known for taking on formidable opponents in antitrust litigation and class actions that shape industry standards.

• Draft high-quality pleadings and contested motions, including sophisticated complaints, oppositions to motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, and class certification briefing.
• Manage complex discovery processes, overseeing client document productions, e-discovery workflows, search term development, and adversarial meet-and-confers.
• Oversee document review teams, ensuring quality, accuracy, and consistency in large-scale reviews.
• Take and defend depositions of fact witnesses and corporate representatives; collaborate closely with expert witnesses on reports and testimony.
• Engage in business development activities and attend professional conferences, with firm-subsidized travel and expenses.
