Join Gideon Asen

Trial Attorney (Litigation Team)

The Person

Are you a lawyer with the intensity, motivation, drive and competitiveness to litigate and try complex, high value plaintiff cases? Are you a first-rate, exceptional researcher and writer? Do you pay attention to detail necessary to find the needle in the haystack, while at the same time retaining a grasp of the big picture (say, the rolling field with all its picturesque haystacks)? Do you enjoy working as part of a team of other exceptional lawyers and non-lawyer staff? Are you willing to make sacrifices and manage stress in exchange for greater autonomy, more professional opportunities, and higher financial upside? Are you seeking an extraordinary career with an exceptional firm looking to 10x revenue targets and achieve life-changing results for deserving clients?

If you answered “yes” to ALL these questions, then we want to connect with you.

Shared Values

We hire only those who share our firm’s Core Values:

Core Value No. 1:
We make sacrifices for opportunities and success.

The attorney will demonstrate hard work and sacrifice, not expecting others to do things they are unwilling to do themselves. The attorney will hold themselves and others, including the Team Leader, to high standards and be relentless in doing what needs to be done to achieve exceptional results for every client.

Core Value No. 2:
We make decisions based upon science and data, not fear or ego.

The attorney is humble, self-aware and self-reflective and does not allow his or her ego to interfere with rational decision-making on cases. The attorney recognizes his or her own limitations and the value of outside input and regularly seeks to get to the best approach through collaboration with others on the team, outside mentors, and other sources. The attorney does not employ self-serving rationalizations to justify shortcuts or a path of least resistance in lieu of doing the hard work to get to the best answer. There should be no “pride of authorship” on a team. The attorney prioritizes the best or correct approach irrespective of who came up with the idea.

Core Value No. 3.:
We have relentless curiosity and drive to win.

The attorney is willing to question conventional wisdom and assumptions to search for root causes and deeper truths. The attorney works collaboratively with others to find creative solutions to obstacles that stand in the path to success. The attorney is never satisfied until all efforts have been exerted to win.

Core Value No. 4.:
We work with calculated urgency.

The attorney exerts his or her force of personality to overcome inertia and resistance to move cases forward at the greatest possible speed without compromising quality. The attorney anticipates upcoming events, plans, delegates, and holds team members and outside vendors accountable for adhering to deadlines. The attorney encourages and inspires all members of the team to work with urgency to obtain outcomes for our clients and firm in the shortest reasonable time.

Core Value No. 5.:
We value personal and professional growth.

The attorney continuously works to improve his or her own skills and knowledge as a trial attorney and leader, with the necessary personal growth to remain mentally and physically strong and capable of handling the demands and stress of the work. The attorney encourages and helps others on the team to do the same.
