Senior Litigation Attorney - National Client Team
Senior Litigation Attorney - National Client Team
Represent a major Fortune 50 company with nationwide operations.
About the Opportunity
Our client, a respected national law firm, is seeking a Senior Litigation Attorney to join their New York team. This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced litigator who enjoys managing complex matters, advising sophisticated clients, and taking real ownership of their work.
In this role, you will support one major global client-a leading multinational company with a large nationwide operational footprint. Working closely with a single client allows you to develop deep institutional knowledge, build strong relationships, and provide consistent, strategic guidance. It also offers the type of exposure that many attorneys find to be a meaningful stepping stone toward future in‑house opportunities.
While the caseload includes matters related to transportation, logistics, and emerging industry issues, the firm encourages applications from attorneys with any strong litigation background.
This position offers a flexible hybrid schedule and the opportunity to join a highly collaborative, well‑resourced national team.
What You'll Do
* Manage a varied litigation docket from inception to resolution
* Conduct research and provide clear, strategic legal analysis
* Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, and other complex litigation documents
* Take and defend depositions
* Participate in hearings, mediations, and trial proceedings
* Negotiate settlements and advocate effectively on behalf of clients
* Communicate directly with client stakeholders regarding strategy and case updates
* Collaborate with attorneys nationwide to deliver cohesive, high‑quality work
What We're Looking For
* J.D. from an accredited law school
* Admission to the New York Bar
* 8+ years of litigation experience (general liability, commercial, casualty, or related areas welcome)
* First‑chair or second‑chair experience strongly preferred
* Trial experience required
* Strong deposition and motion practice skills
* Excellent writing, communication, and analytical abilities
* Ability to manage a demanding and dynamic caseload independently
* Experience with transportation, logistics, regulatory matters, or large‑scale operations is a plus, but not required
Why You Should Apply
* Hybrid schedule supporting work‑life balance
* Competitive compensation with discretionary bonus eligibility
* Excellent benefits including 401(k) match, medical/dental/vision, life and disability insurance, and generous PTO
* Opportunity to support one major global client with deep strategic involvement
* Valuable exposure for attorneys interested in future in‑house roles
* Highly collaborative national team environment
* Continued career growth through trial work, leadership opportunities, and hands‑on responsibility
Who Thrives in This Role
This role is ideal for attorneys who:
* Want meaningful ownership over their matters
* Enjoy partnering closely with a single, sophisticated client
* Appreciate a varied mix of litigation, including transportation‑related issues without being limited to them
* Are proactive, solutions‑oriented, and comfortable managing a fast‑paced docket
* Value strong client relationships and clear communication
* Are interested in long‑term growth, including developing skills valued by in‑house legal teams
* Are eager to engage with emerging industry trends and evolving legal challenges
