Job description

Overview

Associate Attorney - Hybrid or Remote | New York, NY

Base Salary: $110,000–$160,000. Salary is flexible and open to negotiation based on your experience.

Join a Firm That Truly Values You – Top-Tier Benefits, Remote Flexibility & a Supportive Team.

We’re proud to be partnering with a highly respected and rapidly growing law firm based in New York, NY, known for its outstanding track record in personal injury and insurance defense litigation. This firm has built its reputation on excellence in the courtroom, collaboration within the office, and a genuine commitment to its people.

This is more than just another attorney role – it’s an opportunity to take ownership of your cases, grow alongside talented mentors, and enjoy a work environment where your contributions are truly valued. With flexible hybrid or fully remote options and a manageable caseload, you’ll be able to excel professionally without sacrificing work-life balance.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Handle a varied caseload of personal injury and insurance defense matters (premises liability, construction accidents, motor vehicle, property damage, etc.) from start to finish.
• Draft, review, and file pleadings, motions, discovery responses, and settlement agreements.
• Represent clients in depositions, hearings, mediations, and trials.
• Conduct in-depth legal research and craft case strategies that achieve the best outcomes for clients.
• Communicate consistently with clients, opposing counsel, and the courts to keep cases moving efficiently.
• Collaborate with experienced partners and senior attorneys on complex matters and leverage their mentorship to sharpen your skills.

Why This Firm Stands Out

• They Invest in You: Senior attorneys and partners are hands-on mentors who will help you grow both in and out of the courtroom.
• You’ll Be Valued: This is a team-oriented culture where collaboration and open communication are part of the firm’s DNA.
• Modern & Efficient: Brand-new office space, state-of-the-art systems, and resources that make handling your caseload manageable.
• Work-Life Balance: You’ll enjoy flexible hybrid/remote arrangements and realistic expectations that allow you to thrive personally and professionally.

What You Bring to the Table

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.
• Admitted to the New York State Bar.
• 1+ years of litigation experience (personal injury/insurance defense is preferred).
• Confident advocacy skills – in writing and in the courtroom.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage deadlines independently.
• A client-focused mindset and desire to be part of a collaborative team.

Benefits You’ll Love

• Hybrid or fully remote work options (depending on location).
• Health insurance with a $700/month employer contribution.
• 100% Employer-Paid Dental and Vision Insurance.
• 401(k) with 50% company match on the first 4%.
• Life Insurance, PTO
• Long-Term Disability
