What are the responsibilities and job description for the General Liability Attorney position at Distinct | North America?
General Liability Attorney
Hybrid – New York City
$110,000–$190,000
If you're starting to think about your next move, it doesn't always mean you're unhappy where you are.
Maybe you're looking for better exposure, more responsibility, a clearer progression path or simply a firm where you can see yourself developing long-term.
If that sounds familiar, this could be worth a conversation.
The Opportunity
I'm working with an established multi-practice New York firm that's continuing to grow its General Liability team.
They're open to attorneys at different stages of their careers, from those with a couple of years' experience looking to build their foundations, through to more experienced attorneys who want greater ownership of their matters.
The role is hybrid and offers exposure across different areas of litigation, with a realistic progression path for someone looking to build their career with the firm.
What Will You Be Doing?
- Managing general liability matters from inception through resolution
- Conducting legal research and drafting pleadings and correspondence
- Negotiating settlements and representing clients
- Handling matters across personal injury and related liability claims
- Working closely with attorneys and support staff on case strategy
The idea is to give you real responsibility while still having the support around you to continue developing.
Who Are They Looking For?
You'll need at least 2 years of general liability experience and admission to the New York Bar.
Additional admission in New Jersey, Connecticut or Pennsylvania would be an advantage, but isn't essential.
They're looking for someone who can take ownership of their work, communicate well with clients and wants to continue growing their litigation experience.
Why Consider It?
Hybrid flexibility. Varied work. Genuine responsibility. And an achievable progression path.
Compensation is $110,000–$190,000 depending on experience.
If you've started wondering what else might be available, even if you're not actively applying yet, I'd be happy to tell you more.
Send me your resume and I'll talk you through the firm, the team and what the opportunity could look like for you.
And if this particular position isn't quite right, I work with firms across the East Coast and would be happy to have a confidential conversation about what you're looking for next.
If you'd rather talk than apply, call me on 332 777 6411. I know court appearances, depositions and the small matter of actually billing your hours don't always leave much room in your day.
Salary : $110,000 - $190,000
