About the role

At the Senior Counsel level, we are looking for someone who knows how to run litigation. You will be trusted to develop case strategy, manage discovery, take and defend depositions, handle substantive motion practice, communicate directly with clients and carriers, work with experts, evaluate exposure, and prepare matters for mediation and trial.

- Connecticut litigation experience is particularly important because we need someone who understands the local courts, procedures, and practice environment and can contribute with a high degree of independence.
- JD from an ABA approved school
- Must be licensed in your state
- 8+ years of solid litigation experience, specifically with litigation support, deposition and trial preparation
- Ability to manage full case handling responsibilities, including all facets of discovery and trial
- Experience with time management systems
- Proficiency in MS Suite, specifically Word, PowerPoint and Outlook
- Ability to think and act independently and with minimal supervision
- Outstanding listening, verbal and written communication skills
