Managing a full caseload of construction litigation and NY Labor Law cases from inception through resolution
-
Conducting and defending depositions as core daily work
-
Trying cases and representing clients in court, mediations, and settlement conferences
-
Collaborating with partners on trial prep, legal strategy, and client communication
-
Mentoring junior attorneys as the firm invests in younger talent
Key Requirements
-
10+ years of defense litigation experience (7+ considered with strong construction law background)
-
Demonstrated New York Labor Law / construction site accident litigation experience — absolute must-have
-
Trial experience and ability to independently handle high-value cases
-
Salary expectations aligned with Long Island market ($150K–$195K base), not Manhattan pay scales
