Case Investigation Attorney

About the company

Our client is a law firm.

The role Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Help identify and build new litigation matters at the pre-filing stage, blending legal judgment, fact-finding and technology-assisted research. Partner with analysts, financial specialists and investigators to decide which opportunities are strong enough to put forward.

What you'll do

• Screen possible claims by studying company reports, regulatory documents, market trading behavior and financial information.
• Run thorough fact-finding efforts, drawing on publicly available material and conversations with people who previously worked at the companies in question.
• Apply AI and analytics tools to sift through large volumes of information and surface trends that sharpen the assessment of each matter.
• Write internal case memos, damages estimates and concise client summaries.
• Collaborate with monitoring, analytics, financial and investigative colleagues to pressure-test legal theories.

Requirements

• What we're looking for

• About 5 years of securities litigation practice, with hands-on courtroom or case experience to gauge the strength of a matter (4 years may be considered for outstanding candidates).

• A background at a well-regarded law firm, whether on the plaintiff side or the defense side of securities work.

• A JD from an accredited law school; a top-ranked school is preferred but flexible when experience and firm background are strong.

• The skill to interpret public company reporting and market data in order to spot potential fraud.

• Comfort using AI or analytics-based tools in legal research or when working with big datasets.

• An inquisitive, inventive and analytical mindset that goes beyond routine process.

• A sincere desire to do plaintiff-side work for institutional clients.

• A steady employment history.

• Residence in San Francisco or Boston, and the ability to be in the office three set days each week.

• Bonus points

• Prior exposure to early-stage case development rather than only active litigation.

• Understanding of damages and causation concepts used in investor claims.

• Defense-side attorneys excited to switch to plaintiff-side work are strongly encouraged to apply.
