• Draft complaints, pre-litigation demand letters (including CLRA notices), and amended pleadings
• Research and draft motions and oppositions, including motions to dismiss, motions to compel arbitration, class certification, summary judgment, and preliminary and final settlement approval
• Develop and manage discovery: written discovery, ESI and large document productions, meet-and-confer, and discovery motions
• Prepare for, take, and defend depositions, including corporate (PMQ/30(b)(6)) witnesses
• Work with experts on damages models, consumer surveys, and technical issues
• Prepare mediation briefs and help negotiate class settlements; assist with notice and claims administration
• Communicate with class representatives and keep them informed throughout the case
• Manage a docket of deadlines and court filings with accuracy and ownership
• Track developments in California and federal consumer protection law and help identify new case opportunities
