Description:
The Opportunity:We are seeking a Senior Commercial Litigation Attorney to lead complex business disputes, particularly partnership and shareholder disputes, business divorces, contract disputes, fiduciary duty claims, and other significant commercial matters.
This is a role for an experienced litigator who wants real ownership. You will develop case strategy, manage matters from inception through resolution, work directly with sophisticated clients, and take the lead on the substantive decisions that move cases forward.
Our attorneys work in a remote-first environment built around autonomy, responsiveness, and trust. The model offers meaningful flexibility, but it works because our attorneys are highly organized, technologically capable, proactive communicators, and fully engaged with their clients and colleagues.
We also value the connection that comes from working together in person. The team meets monthly in New York City, and our Manhattan office is available for client meetings, collaboration, and other situations where being together adds value.
For the right attorney, this is an opportunity to do sophisticated work, have greater control over how you practice, and play an important role in a firm that is continuing to grow.

- Advise founders, executives, business owners, and companies on litigation strategy, risk, and practical business considerations
- Maintain clear, proactive communication with clients
- Collaborate with firm leadership and colleagues on significant matters and case strategy
- Take ownership of deadlines, case progression, and client expectations
- Contribute to the continued development of the firm's litigation practice
What We're Looking For:
- 10+ years of substantial commercial litigation experience
- Significant experience handling complex business disputes
- Strong background in motion practice, discovery, depositions, negotiations, and case strategy
- Meaningful courtroom, arbitration, evidentiary hearing, and/or trial experience; first-chair trial experience is strongly preferred
- Experience with partnership, shareholder, ownership, fiduciary duty, or business divorce disputes is highly desirable
- Excellent legal writing and oral advocacy skills
- Strong judgment and the ability to independently manage and advance sophisticated matters
- Exceptional client communication and relationship-management skills
- Highly organized, responsive, and accountable
- Comfortable using technology to manage matters, collaborate, communicate, and work efficiently
- Able to thrive in a remote environment through proactive communication, strong organization, and consistent follow-through
