Join our Team
We like people who can handle themselves and their own cases. We love leaders, entrepreneurs, and self-made people who know how to balance their work with the rest of their life. People who live on pressure and the thrill of the chase. People who welcome the occasional game of ping pong at 3:37 (a.m. or p.m.) on a Thursday the day before a mediation of a $2 billion case. You in? Good. We’re hiring. Check out our benefits, read up on our values, and then find your job.
