Description:

Are you looking to join a dynamic, fast-growing personal injury law firm where your contributions truly matter? We are a small, but ambitious practice with a collaborative culture and a commitment to excellence. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a top-tier associate attorney who wants to build their career and grow with us.

In this role, you will be a vital member of our legal team, handling a diverse portfolio of personal injury cases. Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

End-to-End Case Management: You will handle personal injury cases from the initial intake and evaluation all the way through trial or final resolution, including settlement, arbitration, or mediation.
Strategic Legal Drafting: You will draft and file complex legal documents such as pleadings, motions, and discovery responses, ensuring each document is sound and persuasive.
Litigation and Court Representation: You will actively participate in litigation, including taking and defending depositions, preparing witnesses, and representing clients in court appearances, mediations, and arbitrations.
Client Communication: You will serve as the primary point of contact for clients, guiding them through the legal process and providing clear, empathetic updates to ensure they feel informed and supported.
Research and Analysis: You will conduct detailed legal research and analyze evidence to build a strong case strategy.
Settlement Negotiation: You will actively negotiate with insurance companies and opposing counsel to secure the maximum possible compensation for our clients.

Bar Admission: Admission to and good standing with the New York Bar is a mandatory requirement.
Case Management & Leadership Skills: A strong ability to independently manage a high-volume caseload. We are looking for someone who is proactive and can thrive in a fast-paced environment.
Communication and Litigation Skills: Excellent writing, negotiation, and litigation skills. You must be able to argue confidently in court and negotiate beneficial settlements outside of it.
