New York, NY · On-site · Full-time

Compensation & Schedule

$100,000–$150,000 per year, commensurate with experience. Full-time, on-site five days per week at our Manhattan office.

About the Opportunity

A well-established New York City real estate law firm — with decades of experience representing sophisticated residential and commercial clients in NYC transactions and disputes — is seeking a junior litigation associate (1–3 years) to join its growing practice. This is a hands-on role with meaningful client interaction, real responsibility from the outset, and a clear path for long-term professional growth in a collaborative, high-performing team.

What You'll Do

As a junior litigation associate, you'll independently manage the pre-trial life cycle of complex real estate and commercial litigation matters, including:

  • Drafting pleadings, motions, and legal memoranda
  • Preparing and responding to discovery
  • Conducting legal research and analysis
  • Taking and defending depositions
  • Appearing at court conferences and motion hearings
  • Assisting with trial preparation

Matters run from pleadings through trial in New York State Supreme Court and/or Federal Court.

What We're Looking For

  • 1–3 years of experience handling civil litigation matters from pleadings through trial in New York State Supreme Court and/or Federal Court
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities at once
  • Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new technology and software systems
  • Ability to commute to our NYC office five days per week
  • Appellate experience is a plus, but not required

What We Offer

  • Collaborative and supportive team culture
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • Paid time off
  • Meaningful client contact, increasing responsibility, and genuine room to grow
