Litigation

Litigation encompasses a wide range of activities, including investigations and discovery, research and legal writing, settlement negotiations, pre-trial preparation, trial, and appeal. Litigators, or trial lawyers, represent plaintiffs and defendants in civil and criminal cases and manage all phases of the litigation process. This could involve various types of disputes including complex commercial matters, contract disputes, real estate disagreements, intellectual property protections, defense of government actions and more. Atticus Recruiting will steer your talent hunt, identifying the ideal candidate for your organization’s litigation needs.

What Do We Expect from You?

As a litigation candidate, your responsibilities span a diverse range of tasks and skills, all crucial to navigating the complexities of legal disputes. At Atticus Recruiting, we have clear expectations for the responsibilities our litigation candidates should be able to handle:

  • Case Management: We expect our candidates to efficiently handle case management from the initial case analysis through to resolution. This includes conducting investigations, preparing pleadings, overseeing the discovery process, and taking a case to trial if necessary.
  • Legal Research and Analysis: Candidates should be adept at conducting legal research and analysis, using these skills to develop a strategy for handling cases and preparing legal documents such as briefs and motions.
  • Client Relations: The ability to maintain professional and positive client relations is crucial. Our candidates should effectively communicate with clients, providing clear explanations of legal strategies and proceedings, and keeping them informed of case developments.
  • Court Appearances: Candidates may be expected to represent clients in court, presenting evidence, making legal arguments, and advocating for the best interests of their clients.
