Arbitration & Litigation Staff Attorney (Multi-Office)
Sheppard is a global Am Law 50 full-service law firm with over 1,200 attorneys across 16 offices worldwide. We are currently recruiting for a Staff Attorney with at least 3 years of experience to support a nationwide portfolio of litigation and arbitration matters involving lenders and investment-related clients. Sheppard defends companies across industries involving consumer claims, privacy and data use, false advertising, product defect issues, financial services, ERISA, insurance, and securities.
This position can be based in any of our U.S. offices, which include New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Orange County, Century City, Del Mar, San Diego, San Francisco, or Silicon Valley. Please note that this is an off-track position.
We are seeking a Staff Attorney with strong organizational and case-management skills to join our team. Primary responsibilities include preparing and handling individual arbitrations, conducting discovery, managing matter deadlines and pretrial filings, communicating with case managers and opposing counsel and evaluating liability and negotiating settlements. The position also includes the opportunity to assist on mass arbitration and litigation matters and well as evaluating and responding to consumer demands. This role offers the chance to interact with clients directly, argue motions, attend hearings, and communicate with opposing counsel.
This is a perfect opportunity for candidates looking to work at an AmLaw 50 law firm with an excellent, nationally recognized class actions and mass arbitrations practice but with lower billable hours requirements and more flexibility than a traditional partner-track position.
The ideal candidate will possess the following qualifications:
· At least 3 years of litigation or arbitration experience.
· Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple files and competing deadlines.
· Florida bar admission strongly preferred.
· Ability to effectively manage a large volume of case files and documents.
· Ability to calendar and track competing deadlines with accuracy.
· Strong interpersonal and oral communication skills.
Resume, law school transcript, and writing sample are required to apply. Preference will be shown to candidates with an active bar license in the state of Florida.
The salary range for this position is $175,000 to $215,000, based on a 1500-billable hour annual requirement.
