The Litigation Expert will be responsible for:

• Constructing litigation scenarios spanning pre-trial discovery, motion practice, trial strategy, and settlement or arbitration processes.
• Building tasks across commercial litigation, complex and class action litigation, discovery and evidence management, trial advocacy, and appellate practice.
• Developing scenarios involving tools such as e-discovery platforms (Relativity, Everlaw), litigation management software, and deposition/trial preparation tools used on major matters.
• Applying litigation methodologies (case strategy development, discovery and evidence analysis, motion drafting) to the standards track a world targets (US: FRCP, Federal Rules of Evidence, state court rules; International: CPR, international arbitration rules), and producing reference pleadings, discovery responses, motions, and trial memoranda.
• Authoring rubrics that distinguish authentic litigation judgment from generic law school or bar exam-level recall.

Qualifications

• 5+ years working as a litigator or trial attorney at a major litigation firm or corporate litigation department (Quinn Emanuel, Gibson Dunn, Boies Schiller Flexner, Kirkland & Ellis, or in-house litigation counsel).
• Direct ownership of complex commercial litigation matters, with trial or arbitration experience.
• Fluency in litigation tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how court procedure, discovery, and evidentiary rules actually work.
• A recognized professional credential is strongly preferred (JD with bar admission, or an international equivalent such as Barrister or Solicitor with advocacy rights); prior rubric or training authorship is a plus.
