Job Description

Job Description

Salary range: $150K - $195K

Location: Syosset, Long Island, NY

Visa Sponsorship Details: Not open to any visas (e.g. US citizen, Green Card holders)

Hybrid work policy: Flexible hybrid in Syosset, Long Island, NY — in-office initially to onboard, then flexible work-from-home days as schedule allows (driven by court calendar)

About this role

What we're looking for:

We are looking for a Senior Litigation Attorney with 9+ years of defense litigation experience to join a growing, collegial firm and independently manage complex construction law and Labor Law cases. You'll be someone with enough gray hairs to handle million-dollar cases without supervision—a seasoned litigator ready for a long-term home at a firm that treats its people exceptionally well.

What will you be doing?

  • Managing a full caseload of construction litigation and NY Labor Law cases from inception through resolution

  • Conducting and defending depositions as core daily work

  • Trying cases and representing clients in court, mediations, and settlement conferences

  • Collaborating with partners on trial prep, legal strategy, and client communication

  • Mentoring junior attorneys as the firm invests in younger talent

Key Requirements

  • 10+ years of defense litigation experience (7+ considered with strong construction law background)

  • Demonstrated New York Labor Law / construction site accident litigation experience — absolute must-have

  • Trial experience and ability to independently handle high-value cases

  • Salary expectations aligned with Long Island market ($150K–$195K base), not Manhattan pay scales

  • Long-term mindset — no job hoppers; looking for someone who wants to build a career here
