Responsibilities
- First-chair Delaware matters. Carry Corgi’s litigation in Delaware courts as lead counsel - pleadings, motions, depositions, hearings, and trial.
- Direct East Coast disputes outside Delaware. Lead strategy on matters in other East Coast jurisdictions, appearing pro hac vice with local counsel where appropriate and otherwise managing the engagement.
- Own outside counsel. Select, budget, and actively manage outside firms - set strategy, hold them to it, and control spend rather than rubber-stamping invoices.
- Build the litigation playbook. Stand up Corgi’s approach to disputes, early case assessment, settlement posture, and litigation-readiness as the company scales.
- Advise the business. Partner with leadership to spot risk early, resolve disputes before they become cases, and keep litigation aligned with where the company is going.
Requirements
- Admitted to the Delaware Bar and in good standing. This is a hard requirement — the role first-chairs Delaware matters, so DE admission is non-negotiable.
- 5+ years of business/commercial litigation with real litigation experience - you’ve taken the company’s own commercial disputes (contract, partnership, vendor, employment, IP, and similar) through dispositive motions, trial, and the moments in between. This is general business litigation, not insurance-coverage work.
- Comfortable running outside counsel, not just doing the work yourself - you know how to set strategy, budget a matter, and hold a firm accountable.
- Founder-level ownership. You move fast, own outcomes, and don’t wait to be told how the function should run - you build it.
Nice to Have
- Experience litigating for a company in a regulated industry, financial-services litigation experience, or familiarity with Delaware Chancery practice.
- Insurance-industry exposure is a nice-to-have, not a requirement - we’re hiring for business-litigation skill first.
