Job description

We are a boutique litigation firm focused on high-value, complex property damage and construction-related litigation, representing major insurers and sophisticated private clients.

Our practice focuses on technically complex, high-exposure claims, often involving detailed factual investigations, expert analysis, and significant financial stakes.

Our cases require detailed expert-driven analysis, offering associates experience beyond standard volume-based defense practices.

Associates in this role are given meaningful autonomy and direct responsibility for case management, including handling matters from pre-suit investigation through active litigation. This includes site inspections, expert coordination, depositions, motion practice, court appearances, and direct client interaction.

Our matters include large-scale infrastructure and construction-related disputes as well as complex property damage and subrogation claims. The work offers consistent exposure to challenging legal and factual issues beyond typical high-volume insurance defense practices.

We litigate throughout Long Island, New York City, and Westchester County, and maintain a practice that emphasizes quality of work, efficiency, and strategic case handling.

This role is ideal for a 4-6 year associate seeking to:

· take on greater ownership of cases

· work on more complex, high-value matters

· develop toward senior associate and partnership-track responsibilities in a boutique environment

What We Offer

· Hybrid work schedule

· Significant hands-on litigation experience, including taking and defending depositions, court appearances, motion practice, and direct client and expert interaction

· Clear opportunity for advancement to senior associate and partnership-track roles within a growing boutique practice

· Direct access to partners and active involvement in case strategy and client reporting

· This role is particularly well-suited for associates seeking to transition from high-volume practices into more complex, high-exposure litigation with greater ownership and responsibility.

Compensation

$130,000 – $150,000 base salary (commensurate with experience). Bonus is structured on a tiered basis for hours billed in excess of the annual target. Comprehensive benefits package available, including 401(K) with company matching, Health Insurance, Dental Insurance, Paid Time off, and Vision Insurance. Target billable expectation is 2,000 hours annually.

Responsibilities

· Manage civil litigation matters from inception through resolution

· Draft pleadings, motions, discovery demands and responses, and carrier reports

· Conduct and defend depositions, court conferences, and oral arguments

· Collaborate with partners, clients, experts and support staff to achieve efficient case outcomes

Qualifications

· 4-6 years of litigation experience (insurance defense experience preferred)

· Admission to practice in New York

· Strong writing, analytical ability, and courtroom skills

· Organized, deadline-driven, and capable of managing an independent caseload

· Commitment to long-term professional growth and high-quality client service

All inquiries will be handled confidentially.
