Associate Attorney

Dear Hiring Partner,
I am writing to apply for the Associate Attorney position in your commercial litigation group. I am licensed to practice in Illinois and spent the past two years at Reed & Kessler LLP, where I helped secure a full dismissal in a $4.2 million breach-of-contract suit through a motion I drafted from first pass to filing.
My caseload has included over 30 active litigation matters at a time, spanning contract disputes, employment claims, and commercial fraud. I have taken and defended more than 20 depositions, managed document review for cases involving upward of 50,000 pages of discovery, and am fluent in Westlaw, Relativity, and LexisNexis for research and case management.
Your firm's recent expansion into complex commercial litigation, particularly the work your team did on the Halston Group arbitration, is exactly the kind of high-stakes practice I want to grow in. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my research, writing, and courtroom preparation can support your team, and I am available to interview at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Priya Nair
