My position further allowed me to regularly utilize my written advocacy skills as I consistently drafted Defendant briefs, as well as a plethora of other pleadings throughout the pendency of the litigation process. Lastly, my former practice afforded me the opportunity to negotiate countless settlement agreements with Plaintiffs’ counsel, and gave me a chance to better hone my abilities as an experienced and tactful negotiator.
