Attorney

We are a rapidly-growing litigation firm focused on insurance defense and related civil litigation across New York and New Jersey. Our attorneys rely on strong administrative structure, efficient workflow, organized office systems, and sound financial tracking.

This role offers direct, hands-on involvement in active cases and is ideal for candidates looking to build a strong foundation in litigation. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, proactive, and capable of managing multiple assignments in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.

We are open to hiring people who recently took the bar or those who have been admitted to practice in New York. If you are not yet admitted, you are eligible to start as a law clerk and to become an attorney once you are admitted to practice. This is an immediate need and we are looking to add the right person to our team for a full-time, onsite role.
