What You'll Do
- Manage a broad range of civil litigation matters from case inception through resolution or trial.
- Develop litigation strategy and represent clients in hearings, mediations, arbitrations, and trials.
- Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery requests and responses, and other legal documents.
- Conduct depositions, prepare witnesses, work with expert witnesses, and manage all phases of discovery.
- Perform legal research and prepare persuasive legal memoranda and case analyses.
- Build trusted relationships with clients while providing practical legal counsel and exceptional service.
- Collaborate with attorneys and support staff to achieve successful client outcomes.
What We're Looking For
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.
- Active admission to the New York State Bar (or ability to obtain admission).
- Demonstrated civil litigation experience.
- Trial experience or significant courtroom advocacy experience strongly preferred.
- Strong experience with discovery, depositions, motion practice, and case management.
- Excellent legal writing, analytical, negotiation, and communication skills.
- A self-motivated attorney who enjoys working collaboratively and building lasting client relationships.
- Candidates currently living in the Glens Falls region or those interested in relocating to the area are encouraged to apply.
