The ideal candidate will have several years of litigation experience and be comfortable handling all phases of litigation—from legal research and motion practice to discovery, arbitration, and trial preparation. Experience with New York state courts, FINRA, or AAA is a plus. This is a hands-on role with direct responsibility for case work and client interaction.

Qualifications:
