What we're looking for

We need a mid-level associate with 5-7 years of litigation experience and a demonstrated focus on financial services litigation who can hit the ground running supporting two named partners in our New York office.

An active New York bar license in good standing is required.

What you'll do

• Manage all phases of complex commercial and financial services litigation, from pre-suit investigation through trial prep and appeals
• Draft and argue motions, briefs, and memoranda in federal and state courts as well as arbitration proceedings
• Conduct and defend depositions in high-stakes financial services disputes
• Oversee document review and e-discovery in large-scale matters involving financial institutions and regulated entities
• Advise financial institution clients on litigation strategy, risk assessment, and regulatory exposure across areas including SEC, FINRA, CFPB, and OCC matters
• Collaborate directly with partners on case strategy, client relationships, and business development
• Perform legal research on complex regulatory and common-law issues spanning consumer finance litigation (FCRA, FDCPA, TILA, RESPA, TCPA, EFTA), regulatory enforcement defense, broker-dealer disputes, and fintech/digital assets
