  • Professional development and CLE support
  • Firm-sponsored events and a genuinely collaborative culture

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Defending clients in a broad range of tort matters, including auto accidents, premises liability, construction accidents, catastrophic injury, and medical malpractice claims
  • Managing a full caseload independently
  • Conducting and defending depositions (fact witnesses, corporate reps, experts)
  • Drafting and arguing dispositive motions
  • Appearing in court for conferences, hearings, arbitrations, and mediations
  • Preparing cases for trial and working closely with partners on litigation strategy
What We’re Looking For:

  • Admission to the New York Bar
  • 2–10+ years of civil litigation experience (medical malpractice defense preferred)
  • Strong case management skills and comfort handling files independently
  • Experience with motion practice, depositions, and hearings
  • Trial preparation experience strongly preferred
  • A proactive, strategic mindset and desire to grow
