  • Possess strong client and file management skills and understand the importance of delivering technically excellent advice in a timely manner.
  • Demonstrate maturity and self-motivation, taking responsibility for day-to-day management of litigation files while leveraging guidance from senior mentors as appropriate.
  • Value teamwork and appreciate the importance of collegiality and collaboration.
