Shareholder Litigation Associate

Profile

We are a plaintiffs-side law firm seeking a litigation associate with 4 to 8 years of experience.  We focus primarily in shareholder derivative litigation and shareholder class actions, with a particular emphasis on breach of fiduciary duty claims, including in connection with excessive executive and director compensation practices.  

Primary responsibilities include drafting complaints, legal briefs, and managing large discovery matters (e.g., negotiating discovery issues; drafting document requests, interrogatories, and discovery motions; conducting privilege review; conducting secondary-level review of documents; and deposition preparation).

Our small firm, but busy practice, provides younger attorneys with significant responsibilities in the handling of our cases.  The ideal candidate will have the following skill set and qualities: capable of working independently; knowledge of securities laws and law of corporate fiduciaries; knowledge of the financial markets; basic knowledge of accounting and finance concepts; and excellent writing skills.
