Admission to practice in the relevant jurisdiction and active litigation experience
Extensive employment and labor litigation experience, including trials or contested hearings
Proven client development and relationship-management track record

Where the match is not obvious from the description, it is usually still worth talking — partner briefs move with the candidate.
