Litigation Consultant

Job Description

Auberge Collection is seeking a litigation consultant to support our in-house legal team on an independent, hourly basis in managing litigation matters across our global portfolio of 39 luxury hospitality properties. The consultant will work with outside counsel, our in-house team, and business stakeholders to keep litigation matters organized, moving forward, and appropriately tracked and communicated. 

Most matters involve employment litigation, with some personal injury matters. Outside counsel handles all formal representation, motion drafting, and court appearances.

Litigation Matter Coordination

• Coordinate with outside counsel on case status, schedules, deadlines, and next steps

• Follow up on action items and escalate time-sensitive developments or follow-up needs to the in-house legal team

• Support consistent matter-management practices across properties and maintain matter trackers

Outside Counsel and Insurance Coordination

• Coordinate engagement letters and review outside counsel invoices

• Coordinate information and updates among outside counsel, insurance contacts, and appropriate corporate and on-property personnel

• Help ensure key stakeholders are informed of case progress, particularly regarding potential settlements and amounts

Qualifications

The ideal candidate is intellectually sharp, organized, responsive, adaptable, and an excellent communicator, with sound judgment and the ability to coordinate effectively across a range of internal and external stakeholders.

A J.D. is not required, but prior legal practice, particularly in Biglaw and/or California employment litigation, will likely be useful.

This is a fully remote, as-needed independent contractor position. Work volume and schedule will vary based on business needs, and there is no guaranteed minimum number of hours. Compensation is $150–175 per hour, depending on experience.
