Commercial Litigation Associate - New York, NY

The Work: This role spans a sophisticated mix of general commercial litigation, with distinct opportunities to lead complex matters within the real estate and financial services sectors. You will not be tucked away in a back room; you will actively direct case strategy from inception through resolution across both New York State and federal courts. This includes drafting and arguing dispositive motions, managing expert and fact discovery, and taking and defending key depositions. For candidates looking to elevate their advocacy, the firm actively paths associates toward first-chair trial exposure and direct client management rather than keeping them behind a partner-level buffer. Who This Is For You are a New York-admitted litigator with five to seven years of experience, ideally coming from a large law firm or an elite litigation boutique. You have a stellar academic track record, exceptional writing skills, and a strong comfort level handling advanced deposition practice. The Funnel Hook: While a traditional big-law commercial litigation background is highly valued, we welcome conversations with high-caliber white-collar defense or financial regulatory associates who want to pivot their skills into a broader, commercial trial-ready practice. Similarly, if your experience is heavily weighted toward general business torts but you want to specialize deeply in high-value New -York real estate and finance disputes, this role provides the necessary infrastructure and mentorship to bridge that gap.
