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–$185K base), not Manhattan pay scales
