Medical malpractice defense for hospitals, physician groups, and carriers. Obstetrics, surgery, neurosurgery, radiology, emergency medicine. High-exposure files. Not a general-liability seat.

• 26 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars in 2026 – The group you would sit with is ranked. That shows up on a résumé.
• $175K, With a Bonus – Billable bonus plus a discretionary bonus. Manhattan malpractice defense, not a volume GL rate.

• Defend physicians and hospitals in malpractice actions in New York courts.
• Coordinate experts and prepare them for deposition.
• Take and defend fact and expert depositions.
• Draft summary judgment motions and prepare cases for trial.
