The practice represents sophisticated owners, developers, management companies, investors, and boards in a high volume of landlord‑side disputes across New York City.

This role is well‑suited for an attorney who enjoys courtroom advocacy, managing an active docket, and taking real ownership of matters rather than operating in a back‑office support role.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft pleadings, motions, notices, briefs, discovery, and related litigation documents
• Handle commercial and residential real estate litigation matters in Housing Court and Supreme Court
• Appear regularly in court, argue motions, and manage hearings and trials
• Represent landlords, developers, managing agents, investors, and condominium or cooperative boards
• Negotiate settlements and advise clients on litigation strategy and risk assessment
• Maintain organized case files and manage a fast‑moving docket
• Contribute to client‑facing initiatives, including articles, alerts, or marketing efforts as appropriate

Requirements

• JD from an accredited US law school
• 2 to 5 years of real estate litigation experience
• Supreme Court experience strongly preferred
• Trial or appellate exposure is a plus, not required
• Strong legal writing, research, and courtroom advocacy skills
• Ability to manage multiple matters and deadlines efficiently
• Collaborative mindset and interest in long‑term professional growth
• Portable business is welcome but not expected

Compensation

Estimated base salary $150,000- $260,000, commensurate with experience and skill set. Discretionary bonus potential available.

• Hybrid schedule with two remote days per week
• Two additional remote weeks annually
• Comprehensive medical insurance with firm participation
• 401(k) plan with firm match
• CLE reimbursement and ongoing professional development

Why This Opportunity

A strong platform for a junior to mid‑level real estate litigator seeking meaningful responsibility, consistent courtroom exposure, and direct access to sophisticated New York landlord‑side clients. The role offers stability, training, and a clear runway for growth within a respected real estate litigation practice.
