Experience drafting, reviewing and/or directly negotiating settlement documents, and a deep understanding of contracting principles generally.
Strong problem-solving, project management, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
The ideal candidate will also be highly motivated to be part of an active settlement practice, demonstrate initiative, an ability to assume responsibility for client matters, as well as the interpersonal skills to work well as part of a large, collaborative team.
