Do you want to lead complex business litigation matters while working within a clear strategic framework and high-trust environment?

Alisme Law LLC is a business litigation law firm representing business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals in sophisticated commercial disputes. We are growing intentionally and are seeking a Senior Litigation Associate Attorney with the experience and judgment to manage matters independently while coordinating closely with Firm leadership.

This role is designed for an experienced litigator who is comfortable exercising discretion, managing day-to-day case execution, and serving as a trusted advisor to clients—without operating in isolation.

The Role:
As a Senior Litigation Associate, you will serve as the primary attorney responsible for managing assigned business litigation matters from pre-litigation through resolution, under the Firm's strategic direction.

This is not a training role. We are looking for someone who can step in with structure, accountability, and sound judgment, while maintaining alignment with Firm standards and leadership oversight.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage and lead complex commercial and business litigation matters from inception through resolution, in coordination with the Managing Attorney
Develop and implement litigation strategy across all phases, including pleadings, discovery, motion practice, depositions, hearings, and trial preparation
Appear in court independently and handle substantive advocacy, while aligning with Firm strategy and expectations
Serve as the primary legal and strategic point of contact for clients on assigned matters
Exercise independent judgment in day-to-day case management while keeping the Managing Attorney informed of material developments, risks, and strategic considerations
Supervise, review, and provide feedback on the work of junior attorneys, paralegals, and legal staff
Delegate tasks appropriately and ensure work product meets Firm standards prior to filing or submission
Provide guidance and mentorship to junior team members, modeling professionalism, accountability, and strong litigation practices

Who This Role Is For
You may be a strong fit if you:

Demonstrate strong litigation judgment and sound decision-making under pressure
Communicate clearly and effectively with clients, courts, and colleagues
Execute case strategy with precision while operating within established Firm processes
Bring a calm, professional presence to high stakes matters
Respect structure, deadlines, and accountability without resistance
Contribute positively to a high-performance, low-drama work environment
Take primary responsibility for case execution while aligning closely with Firm leadership
Give and receive feedback constructively and apply it consistently
Seek continuous improvement as both a litigator and a leader
If your middle name is “Drama,” this role will not be a fit.

Experience Requirements:

7–9+ years of commercial or business litigation experience
Demonstrated experience managing matters end-to-end
Court appearances, depositions, and motion practice experience required
New York admission required

Compensation:

Base Salary: $260,000 – $285,000 annually, commensurate with experience
Performance Bonus: Eligibility for enhanced performance-based bonuses tied to collected revenue, matter profitability, and clearly defined KPIs, with target total compensation $300,000+ for high performers
Position (Remote/Hybrid): Full-time Senior Litigation Associate role with substantial responsibility, limited supervision, structured expectations, and long-term growth opportunity
