A bit about us:

This is an opportunity with a long-established, full-service law firm with more than a century of history and a strong presence in major U.S. markets. The firm represents public and privately held companies, nonprofits, governmental entities, and individuals across a wide range of industries.

Its litigation practice is highly regarded for handling complex, high-exposure matters across commercial litigation, insurance defense, intellectual property, bankruptcy and restructuring, corporate disputes, and other sophisticated litigation matters.

The firm combines deep institutional experience with a modern, collaborative approach—bringing together attorneys across disciplines to deliver efficient, strategic, and practical solutions for clients. Attorneys are supported by strong internal resources while maintaining meaningful responsibility and client exposure.

Why join us?

Our most impressive fact? As a company of over 200, we maintain a 10+ year average tenure! Once you join the team, you'll stick around!
  • Highly competitive pay
  • Strong Benefits + Bonus program
  • Cohesive team units with strong upward mobility and team work
Why this role?
This is a strong opportunity for a mid-level litigator who wants to step into a hands-on, courtroom-active litigation role within a stable and well-resourced platform.

You will have the opportunity to:

Take ownership of active litigation matters rather than remaining in a narrow support role
Gain consistent New York State Court litigation experience
Work directly with partners on a diverse defense-side docket
Handle meaningful responsibility in premises liability, motor vehicle accident, and general liability matters
Join a collaborative environment that values attorney autonomy and case ownership
Be part of a platform with long-term stability, strong client relationships, and a nationally recognized reputation

This role is particularly well-suited for an associate coming from an insurance defense background who is looking for broader responsibility, stronger platform resources, and continued courtroom exposure.

Job Details

We are seeking a mid-level Litigation Associate to join the New York office. The ideal candidate will have experience in insurance defense or general liability litigation, with a strong working knowledge of New York State Court practice.

This attorney will manage a docket of defense litigation matters with an emphasis on premises liability, motor vehicle accident defense, and related general liability claims.

Responsibilities
Manage litigation matters from inception through resolution
Handle all phases of litigation, including pleadings, discovery, depositions, motion practice, and settlement negotiations
Conduct court appearances in New York State Courts (conferences, motion hearings, etc.)
Take and defend depositions of fact and expert witnesses
Draft and argue motions, including dispositive and discovery motions
Collaborate with partners on case strategy and client reporting
Communicate with clients, insurers, and opposing counsel as appropriate
Maintain docket management and ensure compliance with deadlines
Requirements
5–7 years of litigation experience, ideally in insurance defense or general liability
Strong familiarity with New York State Court practice and procedure
Experience handling:
Premises liability matters
Motor vehicle / personal injury defense
General negligence or tort-based claims
Prior deposition experience (taking and defending)
Comfortable appearing in court and managing motion practice
Strong legal writing and oral advocacy skills
Ability to manage a caseload with increasing independence
Active membership in the New York State Bar (required)
Based in NYC or willing to commute to the office
