What are the responsibilities and job description for the Landlord-Tenant Associate Attorney position at Schneider Buchel LLP?
About The Role
We are seeking a driven and detail-oriented litigation associate attorney with 3-5 years of experience to join our expanding legal team. This role offers an opportunity to work within a busy and sophisticated landlord-tenant practice, with a particular focus on representing community associations, cooperatives, condominiums, and commercial property owners. The position involves meaningful client interaction, responsibility over matters from intake through resolution, and regular court appearances, with the level of autonomy tailored to the attorney’s experience. If you are seeking hands-on legal work, courtroom exposure, and long-term professional growth in a collaborative and well-supported environment, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
This role should reside in the Long Island, NY area and is an in-office role.
Why This Role Stands Out
Schneider Buchel LLP is a fast-growing New York law firm focused on real estate, landlord-tenant, employment and labor, and discrimination law, representing community associations throughout New York State. Our landlord-tenant practice offers a more rewarding way to practice in this area, working with cooperative boards dedicated to protecting their communities and fulfilling fiduciary obligations. This approach leads to stronger legal outcomes, greater client appreciation, and a more sustainable, satisfying practice environment.
The firm is known for its strong culture and investment in its people, with a zero-toxicity, high-performance environment that values collaboration, precision, and client service. Based in a modern Woodbury, Long Island office with amenities designed to support productivity and the well-being of our team. Schneider Buchel offers more than a job, it’s a place to build a career.

Why This Role Stands Out
- Represent cooperative boards that benefit from the Business Judgment Rule under New York law, providing a significant legal advantage compared to standard landlord-tenant representations
- Work on matters where legal fees are recoverable, leading to stronger case outcomes, better client results, and reduced friction over litigation strategy
- Experience a higher rate of successful outcomes, including possession, compliance, and enforcement, resulting in more frequent positive client interactions
- Handle cases that are often focused on conduct, governance, and quality-of-life issues rather than purely financial evictions
- Represent volunteer board members acting pursuant to fiduciary duties, not profit-driven landlords, making the work more ethical and community-centered
- Develop sophisticated legal skills at the intersection of landlord-tenant law, corporate governance, fiduciary duty, and contract interpretation
- Build long-term relationships with experienced boards and managing agents who value strategic legal advice and become repeat clients
