Job description

Attorney - Commercial Litigation | Up to $250K Base + Performance Bonus | Complex Business Disputes | Manhattan | Hybrid

Not every commercial litigation role gives you the opportunity to become a genuine business disputes lawyer.

I’m working with an established NYC firm whose largest department is Commercial Litigation, representing business owners, investors and companies when ownership, control and significant financial interests are on the line.

For an experienced litigator who wants intellectually interesting disputes, senior-level responsibility and less hierarchy around their matters, this is a particularly strong opportunity.

The Firm

• Business-Critical Disputes: Handle shareholder battles, business divorces, partnership and governance disputes, fraud, joint ventures and high-value contract matters.
• Entrepreneurial Client Base: Represent business owners, closely held and family-owned companies, investors and high-net-worth individuals — often on disputes central to their businesses.
• Litigation With Commercial Purpose: The team is known for using litigation strategically to achieve wider business objectives, rather than simply running cases through the court system.
• Serious Litigation Bench: Commercial Litigation is the firm's largest department, with senior lawyers bringing extensive trial, arbitration and complex business-dispute experience.

The Role

• Run Sophisticated Matters: Take meaningful ownership of cases rather than operating as one layer within a large litigation team.
• Broad Commercial Exposure: Work across corporate ownership, shareholder, fraud, contract, real estate, employment and other business disputes.
• Full Litigation Lifecycle: Handle strategy, pleadings, discovery, depositions, substantive motions, negotiations, arbitration and trial preparation.
• Work Directly With Senior Litigators: Join a team where experienced partners remain actively involved in litigating and trying matters.
