The Zinda Trial Lawyer in Training program is a two-year immersion designed to turn a sharp, driven litigator into a top-tier trial lawyer. You'll train side by side with a Senior Partner who has tried and won major cases, gaining the skills, judgment, and confidence of a 10-year lawyer in two years. This is the Navy SEAL equivalent of trial work - high intensity, high accountability, and high reward. It's hard, deliberate, and built to accelerate your career faster than any traditional path. If you're wired for excellence and can perform under pressure, this is where you'll thrive. Our Core Principles Own the Outcome - You are accountable for results, not activity. Relentless Improvement - Seek feedback, refine constantly, and raise your own bar. Client First, Always - Empathy and communication matter as much as strategy. One Team, One Fight - We win together, and we hold each other to elite standards. Extreme Preparation - Trials are won in the prep room, not the courtroom. Courage Under Fire - You don't fold under pressure-you perform. The Work You'll handle complex, high-value cases alongside a senior trial lawyer.

By the end of Year One, you'll be a trusted right-hand lawyer-someone the team can rely on when the pressure's high and the stakes are real. Year Two You'll evolve into leadership. You'll mentor a new Trial Lawyer in Training and pass down your processes. You'll start building your own docket, originating cases, and learning how to run your practice within the firm's ecosystem. By the end of Year Two, you'll be ready to command the courtroom and build a career around it-with full confidence, full autonomy, and full financial upside. When you start your docket if you've performed well you will start working on complex cases, that have very high financial upside. We have had The Challenge Expect 45-55 hours a week on average and 60-80 during trial periods. You'll be pushed, coached, and held accountable every single day. You'll fail, recover, and get better fast. But if you commit, you'll emerge not just as a stronger lawyer-but as one of the rare few who can stand up in front of a jury and own the room. The Reward Acceleration: Compress a decade of experience into two years. Earning Power: Substantial bonuses and long-term origination potential.
