General Liability Attorney | Buffalo


You probably don’t know where you’ll want to live, what hours you’ll want to work or even what sort of lawyer you’ll want to be in 10 years.


It’s probably a good idea to join a firm that doesn’t expect you to.


Want the flexibility of working from home without giving up the benefits of being around your team? That’s the set-up here.


The firm operates a genuinely hybrid model, giving you the freedom to split your time between home and the Buffalo office in a way that works for you and your team.


Move across the country later on? There are offices in all 50 states.


Fancy changing practice areas? You can. And you’ll get support to get up to speed.

Need to reduce your hours because life has changed? That conversation is genuinely on the table.


In other words, your career doesn’t have to stay exactly as it looked when you first picked a practice area.


Why this firm

  • Genuine hybrid flexibility, combining home working with time in the office
  • A national network of offices if your circumstances or location change
  • Freedom to change disciplines as your interests develop
  • 1,900 billable target for litigation attorneys
  • Partnership, relocation and part-time options mean you can build a career around your life, rather than the other way round


What you'll be doing

  • Managing your own matters with the backing of a genuinely national platform
  • Advising and representing clients within your chosen practice area
  • Working alongside attorneys across different offices and disciplines
  • Building your practice in a way that suits where you want your career to go


What you'll have

  • Admitted to the NY Bar
  • Solid experience within your chosen practice area
  • The ability to manage matters with a good degree of autonomy
  • An interest in joining somewhere you can actually stay for the long term


Next Steps


Here’s the bit worth remembering: you don’t need to be actively looking to have a conversation.

Maybe there’s something better out there for you. Maybe there isn’t.

Worst case, we have a confidential chat and you decide staying put is the right move. That’s a perfectly good outcome too.


If you'd rather talk than apply, call me on 332 777 6411 or email - sebh@distinctrecruitment.com. I know court appearances, depositions and the small matter of actually billing your hours don’t always leave much room in your day.
