LITIGATION PARTNER
Uniondale, NY (Long Island) | In-Office
\-------------------------------------------------------------
COMPENSATION
Base: $150,000--$200,000
\-------------------------------------------------------------
WHY THIS ROLE
A Chambers-recognized New York litigation firm with a genuine trial culture -- this firm tries cases monthly and weekly and has built one of the stronger insurance defense track records in the state. This isn't "trial-focused" as a marketing line; it's the actual expectation. The Uniondale opportunity comes with real structural upside: you'll be the senior attorney on the ground running a satellite office with two junior associates and support staff already in place, managing a full pipeline of work from day one. For an experienced insurance defense litigator who wants a partner-track leadership role without the burden of building a book from scratch, the infrastructure here removes a significant barrier.
\-------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll serve as the senior attorney at the firm's Long Island satellite office, managing a full insurance defense caseload across labor law, construction litigation, premises liability, motor vehicle, property damage, and general liability matters -- while supervising two junior associates and one support staff member. Full case ownership is expected from pleadings through trial, with regular appearances in state and local courts across the NYC metro area.
