Position Overview
We are seeking a full-time senior litigation attorney licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey. The ideal candidate will have at least five years of litigation experience, be comfortable independently managing matters, and have the ability to interact directly and professionally with business owners and other clients.
The ideal candidate should have substantial experience in the following areas:

• Commercial litigation, particularly contract disputes between business owners and other commercial parties.
• Business litigation, particularly disputes among owners of the same business.
• Independently managing litigation matters from initiation through resolution.
• Preparing, reviewing, and filing pleadings, motions, briefs, certifications, and other court submissions.
• Handling court appearances, hearings, and oral arguments.
• Managing discovery, including document discovery, written discovery, and depositions.
• Conducting legal and factual research and developing litigation strategy based on the facts, applicable law, the client's objectives, and the risks involved.
• Communicating directly and professionally with clients, opposing counsel, courts, and other parties involved in a matter.
• Drafting demand letters, responses to demands, settlement communications, and other correspondence with opposing parties and counsel.
• Evaluating claims, defenses, potential exposure, available remedies, and the practical advantages and disadvantages of different litigation strategies.
• Negotiating settlements and advising clients regarding negotiation, mediation, arbitration, litigation, and other potential methods of resolving a dispute.
• Managing litigation deadlines, court rules, filings, and case responsibilities without requiring significant day-to-day supervision.

Experience handling matters in both state and federal court is strongly preferred. Federal court admissions in New York and New Jersey, or the ability to obtain appropriate federal court admissions, are also preferred.
Key Expectations
We want an attorney who can take ownership of a litigation matter. The attorney should be able to:

Review facts and documents thoroughly.
Identify what additional information is needed.
Recognize upcoming deadlines and potential risks.
Determine appropriate next steps.
Develop practical and persuasive litigation strategies.
Communicate recommendations clearly to clients and team members.
Move matters forward independently and efficiently.
Maintain organized case files, deadlines, and responsibilities.
This position is not intended for an attorney primarily seeking to develop a personal book of business, start their own firm, or pursue an entrepreneurial role. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys practicing law, analyzing complicated facts, developing persuasive legal arguments, and solving difficult disputes for clients.
If you become frustrated when facts, documents, deadlines, or legal issues are unclear or disorganized-and your instinct is to bring order and clarity to the situation-you may be a strong fit for this position.
The ideal attorney can analyze a complicated dispute, identify what matters most, develop a strategy, and explain that strategy clearly to clients and colleagues with different levels of legal knowledge and experience.
Work Environment
This position allows the attorney to work remotely, and internal interactions with other team members will generally take place remotely.
However, this is an active litigation position. The attorney will be expected to appear in court frequently and must be available to attend:

Court appearances
Depositions
Mediations
Arbitrations
Hearings
Other litigation-related proceedings
Candidates should therefore be comfortable balancing remote legal work with regular in-person litigation responsibilities and travel as required.
