I’m available for a 20-minute call on Monday morning (9:00,11:00 am PT) or Tuesday afternoon (2:00,4:00 pm PT). Does one of those windows work for you? Let me know what time suits you best, and I’ll send over a calendar invite. Looking forward to our conversation. Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi V***a, Monday at 10:00 am PT is perfect,I’ve tentatively reserved the slot and sent over a provisional calendar invite. Just let me know once you’ve confirmed and I’ll finalize everything. In the meantime, if any questions come up or there’s anything specific you’d like me to prepare for our discussion, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to connecting and diving deeper into how your expertise can drive T***s’s litigation strategy. Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi V***a, Great question,here’s a high-level comparison: 1. Autonomy - In this role you’ll have full ownership of T***s’s litigation strategy, from setting case priorities to advising the GC, EVP and board directly. You’ll build and refine our playbooks without the layer of firm committees or client-originations targets that come with a traditional partnership. 2. Case-mix - You’ll oversee disputes across a $2,3 billion development pipeline,large commercial towers, tech campuses, mixed-use communities, healthcare and education projects,while also embedding with development and risk teams on pre-emptive contract drafting and ADA compliance. It’s a broader, end-to-end in-house practice versus discrete client-by-client matters. 3. Compensation - Our package is competitive with top Portland law-firm partner draws: a market-leading base salary, a substantial performance bonus tied to team and company results, equity/long-term incentive participation and a robust benefits suite. We’ve designed it to reward both your expertise and the leadership you’ll bring. Happy to dive into any of these in more detail on our call Monday at 10 am PT,or arrange a brief conversation with our GC if you’d like. Let me know what works best. Looking forward to our discussion, J***e

Hi V***a, Great questions,here’s a bit more color: 1. Bonus targets - Our target bonus is positioned in the upper quartile of Portland partner draws. While top local firms often target 30,40% of base, our plan starts at roughly 35% with stretch upside to 50%+ based on team and company performance metrics. 2. Equity vesting - We grant long-term incentive units that vest over a four-year schedule: a one-year cliff followed by quarterly vesting. This aligns your interests directly with T***s’s growth and gives you meaningful ownership from year two onward. 3. Autonomy in action - For example, when a multi-million-dollar defect claim arose on a tech-campus project last quarter, you would lead the decision on whether to pursue early arbitration versus mediation, set cost-benefit thresholds, and craft the settlement framework. You’d present your recommendation straight to the GC and EVP of Development,and once approved, implement it without additional firm-style committee reviews. That level of direct influence over both strategy and execution distinguishes this role from a traditional partnership structure. I’m happy to walk through the full financial models and dig into another autonomy example on our call Monday at 10 am PT. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like in advance. Looking forward to our conversation, J***e
