Litigation Associate - Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP : Job Details

Falcon Rappaport & Berkman is seeking a Mid-Level Litigation Associate.

Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP (FRB) is a rapidly growing law firm focused on an interdisciplinary approach to the practice of law. Our team is composed of thought leaders across a variety of practice areas, including some of the nation's leading voices on taxation, trusts & estates, corporate law, and a variety of other fields.
