Position Overview
Our client, a boutique law firm with a high-performing commercial litigation practice, is hiring a Litigation Associate (2–5 years experience) to support a growing caseload across commercial disputes, intellectual property, and employment matters.
This is a hands-on role with meaningful responsibility across all phases of litigation. The position is ideally full-time, with flexibility for a reduced schedule for the right candidate.

- Drafting pleadings, motions, and briefs
- Discovery strategy, management, and execution
- Client communication and case coordination
- Court appearances (as appropriate)
- Work directly with partners on complex, high-impact matters
- Take ownership of workstreams, not just tasks
What We’re Looking For
- 2–5 years of civil litigation experience
- Admitted to practice in New York
- Strong writing, analytical, and communication skills
- Ability to work independently and think strategically
- Experience in commercial litigation, IP, or employment law
- BigLaw and/or trial experience is a plus
- Admission to SDNY and/or EDNY is a plus
This role is best suited for someone who wants real responsibility, not just hours billed, and is motivated by doing high-quality work in a collaborative environment.
Why This Role
- Flexible work model: Hybrid (DUMBO-based) with potential for fully remote
- No minimum billable hour requirement
- Direct mentorship and meaningful exposure to substantive work
- Health insurance and 401(k) (full-time employees)
- A team culture that values rigor, curiosity, and continuous improvement
About Us
Our clients graduated from top-tier law schools and take the practice of law and providing their clients with excellent legal representation very seriously. With that said, they are a small but mighty group and they love a good laugh, taking breaks to pet the office dogs (and your dog could join this elite unit), and strive to create a workplace that is welcoming of questions, challenges, and helps everyone get a little better every day. They do not have minimum billing hour requirements as they do not take on more work than they can reasonably complete, and they are not looking for someone who is a specific number of years out of law school. Rather, they are looking for someone who shares their ethos and way of practicing law.
