  • Bonus eligibility unlocks at 1,900 billable hours with tiered increases based on performance metrics like case resolutions and motion wins, averaging $15K–$25K annually for mid-levels
  • Sophisticated caseload featuring $10M+ exposures in building code violations and OSHA disputes for major carriers and developers
  • Flexible hybrid policy requiring only 3 days onsite in the Wall Street Plaza headquarters, with remote options for court prep and research

Day-to-Day

  • Defend construction accident claims involving Labor Law §§ 240(1) and 241(6) from initial investigation through discovery
  • Draft and argue motions to dismiss scaffold and fall-related liability in NY Supreme and federal courts
  • Conduct depositions of site workers, safety experts, and OSHA investigators to establish contributory negligence
  • Prepare trial strategies including jury instructions and expert witness coordination for elevation defect cases
  • Analyze building code compliance and insurance policy triggers to mitigate multimillion-dollar exposures
