- Excellent organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join an innovative, high-growth company and play an important role in building its U.S. legal function. The successful candidate will enjoy significant responsibility and autonomy while working closely with executive leadership on a sophisticated and evolving litigation portfolio.
