$85k - $100k

Goldberg Segalla

Join Team Gs

Goldberg Segalla is a national civil litigation law firm that represents major national and regional companies and insurance carriers in all aspects of business counseling, risk assessment and dispute resolution including representation in various types of claims, controversies and litigation involving personal and other injuries, property damage, contract disputes and business torts. While our Am Law 200 and Chambers ranked firm employs more than 1,000 people, we operate as one tight-knit and highly collaborative team. We are seeking a First or Second Year Associate to join our litigation practice in Buffalo. Ideal candidates will have taken the July 2025 bar exam and be admitted to practice in New York. Candidates who have completed a judicial clerkship will also be considered.

Our Civil Litigation and Trial and Retail & Hospitality practice groups are nationally recognized for trial excellence, creative litigation strategies, and a client focused approach. With a flexible partnership track, deep mentorship support, and a culture rooted in teamwork and inclusion, Goldberg Segalla provides junior litigators with the foundation to develop strong advocacy skills and build a rewarding long-term career.

Why Join Goldberg Segalla:

  • Early litigation experience on substantive, high impact matters
  • Exposure to major national and global clients
  • Supportive, collaborative culture focused on associate development
  • Structured training and mentorship programs
  • Broad, diverse litigation experience across multiple practice areas
  • Nationally recognized for excellence, diversity, and attorney satisfaction
  • Advancement based on merit—not seniority

If you're looking to grow as a litigator within a highly respected, people centered firm that values collaboration and professional development, we invite you to apply and join Team GS.

The Benefits: The annualized salary for an admitted attorney for this position is $85,000-$100,000. Actual pay may be adjusted based on experience and other job related factors permitted by law. This position also offers bonuses and a full benefits package. Our benefits package includes, but is not limited to, health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, a 401(k) plan, flexible spending, and more.
