Litigation Attorney

The Opportunity

We are seeking a motivated Litigation Attorney with 3 to 6 years of experience to join our Hackensack office on a hybrid basis. The primary focus of this role will be condominium and co-op law litigation — an active and growing area of the firm's practice involving disputes related to governance, unit-owner and board matters, common-area issues, assessment collections, and more. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to work across other firm practice areas over time.

Prior experience in condominium/co-op law or any of our other specific practice areas is not required. We are committed to training and mentoring the right candidate. What matters most is a solid foundation in litigation and a genuine willingness to learn and take on the firm's work.

Responsibilities

• Handle a wide range of condominium and co-op litigation matters, including board governance disputes, unit owner claims, assessment collection proceedings, common element issues, and contract disputes
• Advise condominium associations and co-op boards on legal rights, obligations, and risk management in connection with litigation matters
• Handle additional litigation across the firm's other practice areas, including business disputes, real estate, employment, landlord-tenant, and municipal law and land use
• Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery requests, and other legal documents
• Conduct legal research and develop case strategy in collaboration with senior attorneys
• Appear in state and federal court for hearings, oral arguments, and trial proceedings
• Manage discovery processes, including depositions and document review
• Communicate with clients, opposing counsel, and courts professionally and effectively
• Assist with transactional matters and other firm work as needed
• Participate in firm-provided mentorship and training programs

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active admission to the New Jersey Bar (New York Bar a plus)
• 3 to 6 years of litigation experience
• Demonstrated ability to manage litigation files and handle court appearances independently
• Strong legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills
• Willingness and enthusiasm to learn and work across the firm's diverse practice areas
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary of $120,000–$150,000, commensurate with experience
• Structured mentorship and hands-on training from experienced attorneys in condominium/co-op law and beyond
• Exposure to a diverse and sophisticated caseload with a strong concentration in condominium and co-op litigation
• Hybrid work arrangement with flexibility
• A collaborative and supportive firm culture with a strong reputation in the New Jersey legal community
