•        Connecticut and Federal bar admission


•        Strong writing, advocacy, and client communication skills


•        The ability to manage matters independently while working collaboratively within the firm


•        Prior experience at a litigation boutique or full-service firm with significant commercial litigation volume


•        Familiarity with corporate or business law matters (supporting clients with contract review, negotiations, or business disputes) ideal, but not required. 


•        An existing client following or portable business is welcomed, but not required.
