Job description

Commercial Litigation Associate | Manhattan, NY | Hybrid | $250K

Seeking a mid-level Commercial Litigation Associate with 4–8 years of post-bar experience and an active New York bar. This is not a clerkship or first-year seat.

Our client is a full-service mid-size firm founded in the 1970’s, with more than 80 attorneys and offices in New York City, Albany, Washington, D.C., White Plains, and Palm Beach. The practice covers complex commercial litigation, corporate, real estate, trusts and estates, family law, and government relations. Clients include Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, real estate owners, and business executives. The firm’s average billing rate of $800 is among the highest for a New York mid-market shop and reflects the quality of the work.

Why You Should Join:

• $800 Average Billing Rate – One of the highest mid-market rates in New York, which means sophisticated commercial files rather than commodity litigation
• Full-Service Mid-Size Platform – More than 80 attorneys handling prestigious work across litigation, corporate, real estate, and government relations
• 50-Year Established Practice – Founded in 1975, still growing, and known for aggressive, results-oriented courtroom work
• Multi-Office Reach – Matters that sit at the intersection of New York, Albany, D.C., and Florida
• $250K Manhattan Compensation – Strong pay for litigators who want mid-size responsibility and high-quality commercial disputes

Key Duties:

• Handle complex commercial disputes, including contract, partnership, and business-tort matters
• Draft and argue motions in New York state and federal court
• Conduct depositions and manage discovery in high-stakes business cases
• Prepare for mediations, hearings, and trial
• Advise companies and executives on strategy and resolution

Requirements:

• JD and active New York bar
• 4–8 years of post-bar commercial litigation experience
• Current or recent title of Associate or equivalent practicing attorney – law clerks and summer associates will not be considered
• Deposition and motion-practice experience

No one fits every box perfectly — if you’re a practicing Commercial Litigation Associate seeking sophisticated Manhattan work, an $800-rate platform, and $250K.
