About the Role

We are looking for a Litigation Counsel to own and drive all litigation matters across the
company. Commure has an active commercial litigation portfolio and, as a California-based company, regularly handles employment disputes. You will serve as the primary in-house litigation lawyer, working directly with leadership to manage risk, control costs, and execute litigation strategy across all matters.

What You'll Do

• Lead all defensive and offensive commercial litigation, from pre-suit strategy through trial and appeal, including matters in Delaware Chancery Court and other jurisdictions

• Manage employment litigation and pre-litigation disputes, including wrongful termination, discrimination, and wage-and-hour claims

• Own alternative dispute resolution (ADR) strategy and execution, including mediation
  and arbitration proceedings

• Select, retain, and manage outside counsel across all active matters. Set and enforce
  litigation budgets, negotiate fee arrangements, and hold firms accountable for value.

• Direct discovery strategy, including document preservation, collection, review, and
  production. Coordinate internal fact-finding and witness preparation

• Draft, review, and edit pleadings, motions, briefs, and settlement documents in
  coordination with outside counsel

• Advise leadership on litigation risk, exposure analysis, and settlement strategy. Provide
  clear, actionable recommendations on when to fight and when to resolve

• Build and maintain litigation hold processes, playbooks, and internal policies to reduce the company’s litigation risk profile over time

• Collaborate with the broader legal team on cross-functional matters where litigation risk intersects with commercial, regulatory, or IP issues.

What You Have

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar (California bar admission or willingness to obtain strongly preferred)

• 5+ years of experience in complex commercial litigation, with meaningful time at a top-
  tier law firm or in a litigation-heavy in-house role

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple active matters simultaneously, including high-
  stakes disputes with significant financial exposure

• Strong written advocacy skills. You can draft a persuasive brief and you can also explain
  litigation risk to a non-lawyer executive in plain English

• Experience managing outside counsel relationships, including budget oversight and
  strategic direction

• Comfort with discovery mechanics, including e-discovery platforms, document review
  workflows, and privilege logging
  

Preferred

• Employment litigation experience, particularly California employment law

• Experience with Delaware Chancery Court proceedings, including M&A litigation or
  stockholder actions

• Familiarity with healthcare or technology industry litigation

• Experience building litigation processes and playbooks in a high-growth company.
