** Litigation:**
- Manage all aspects of litigation, including pleadings, discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial preparation
- Conduct legal research and draft memoranda, motions, and pleadings
- Represent clients in hearings, mediations, and (as applicable) trial
- Develop and execute litigation strategies in collaboration with senior attorneys
- Handle disputes involving real estate, contracts, and business matters

- Solutions-oriented mindset—you don't just identify issues, you solve them
- Organized, detail-oriented, and able to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
- Team-oriented with the ability to take ownership of files
** Bonus Points**
- Real estate closing/title experience
- Litigation experience (general liability, professional liability, or business disputes)
- Courtroom, mediation, or deposition experience
- Notary commission (or willingness to obtain—firm will cover cost)
- Experience with Qualia
** Compensation & Benefits**
- Base salary starting at $150,000+, commensurate with experience
- Performance-based bonuses tied to productivity and originations
- Medical and dental insurance contributions
- Generous PTO
- Opportunity to build and grow your own book of business
- Mentorship and hands-on experience in both transactions and litigation
** Why Golm Law Firm**
