Base pay range: $145,000.00/yr - $185,000.00/yr

Forge ironclad defenses in NYC's high-stakes construction arena at a Wall Street‑veteran boutique that shields developers, architects, and insurers from $100M+ verdicts in defect claims, labor disputes, and site accidents—leveraging 30+ years of contract drafting, ADR, and risk counseling to dominate NYC Supreme and federal dockets. This 45‑attorney Midtown powerhouse, Martindale‑Hubbell AV‑rated for ethical prowess, empowers mid‑level litigators to lead from motion to trial in a collaborative, client‑intimate environment that fuses insurance‑savvy with construction expertise, all while offering hybrid flexibility and a path to autonomy in Manhattan's skyscraper battleground.

Why You Should Join

• Hybrid Schedule for NYC Commuters – Blend 3 days onsite with remote options, where 80% of attorneys praise the model's role in balancing court runs and family without the full grind of Midtown mandates.
• Sophisticated Multi‑Practice Exposure – Tackle insurance‑covered defects and labor accidents intersecting with real estate and corporate, including ADR mediations that have resolved $50M+ portfolios for institutional clients.
• Autonomous Case Ownership Track – Manage dockets independently with partner oversight, fast‑tracking to counsel in 4‑5 years for high‑performers, in a no‑rigid‑billables model that rewards strategy over hours.
• Competitive Compensation Package – Earn $185K base with bonuses starting at 1900 hours (scaling up), plus full healthcare/dental/vision/PTO/401(k), and a collegial culture that covers professional dues in a supportive, growth‑oriented firm.

Responsibilities

• Litigate Defect & Accident Claims – Handle construction negligence, scaffold falls, and material failures from filings to jury trials.
• Draft Contracts & Motions – Prepare PSAs, indemnity agreements, and MSJs for developers and insurers.
• Support ADR & Risk Counseling – Mediate disputes and advise on OSHA compliance for site accidents.
