Location: New York, NY (Hybrid)

About the Practice

We are continuing to assist this market-leading, exclusively real estate law firm as they look to expand their team following our recent partner placement. Consistently ranked by Chambers and Partners for Real Estate Litigation in New York and by Best Law Firms in both Real Estate and Real Estate Litigation , the firm represents owners, developers, investors and boards in complex, high-stakes matters.

Their attorneys are also regularly recognized by Super Lawyers and The Best Lawyers in America . The litigation group pairs deep landlord-tenant experience with broader real estate strategy across litigation, regulatory and transactional work, so associates handle sophisticated disputes for institutional clients and develop into well-rounded real estate attorneys.

What’s on Offer

  • $175,000–$265,000 base, depending on qualifications and experience
  • Hybrid schedule with two remote days per week, plus two additional remote weeks annually
  • Summer Fridays, pre-tax commuter benefits and comprehensive medical insurance with firm participation
  • 401(k) with a 10% firm match
  • CLE offerings, professional development support and a collaborative, collegial culture

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Independently manage a docket of NYC Housing Court landlord-tenant matters, including nonpayment and holdover proceedings, from inception through resolution
  • Handle rent stabilization, DHCR proceedings, Petitions for Administrative Review (PARs) and related regulatory issues affecting multifamily housing
  • Represent landlords, managing agents, investors and condominium boards, with exposure to related Supreme Court and complex real estate litigation
  • Argue motions, conduct hearings and trials, and negotiate settlements and stipulations
  • Draft pleadings, motions, briefs and notices, and contribute to business development through articles and client alerts

What They’re Looking For

  • Landlord-tenant litigation experience in NYC, with meaningful exposure to rent regulation and DHCR proceedings
  • Admission to the New York State Bar in good standing
  • J.D. from an accredited U.S. law school with a strong academic record
  • Strong motion practice and legal writing skills (Supreme Court, Article 78, administrative appeals or appellate experience is a plus)
  • Excellent analytical, negotiation and client management skills, with the ability to manage cases independently
