The team has briefed and argued hundreds of appeals at every level, including the U.S. Supreme Court, federal courts of appeals, and state courts, and is recognized by the leading global legal directories.

The practice handles a busy docket of bet-the-company and industry-changing appeals, alongside a market-leading "appellate eyes at trial" offering focused on key motions and issue preservation at the trial court level. The group includes former Supreme Court and appellate clerks, former appellate counsel, non-profit sector leaders, and law school faculty.

This is an opportunity to work on the highest-profile matters in a collegial, informal, diverse, and team-oriented environment.

  • Excellent legal research, writing, and interpersonal skills.
  • Judicial clerkship experience preferred, ideally for a federal or state appellate court.
  • Completed JD from an accredited law school.
  • Strong academic credentials.
  • Highly motivated, proactive, and a team player.
  • Superb written and oral communication skills.
