Wein Law Firm is a boutique commercial litigation and judgment-enforcement firm representing funders and creditors in New York. We are hiring a civil litigator who can step into contested matters, write well, appear in court, and grow into a leadership role. This is not a general associate position. You will not be doing basic intake or routine initial filings. This role is for a lawyer who wants real responsibility, meaningful litigation work, and a path to helping build and lead an in-house litigation department.
What You’ll Do
- Handle contested litigation matters after an answer, counterclaim, or other substantive response is filed
- Draft motions, oppositions, affidavits, discovery demands and responses, and other litigation papers
- Manage NYSCEF filings, court appearances, conferences, and hearings
- Work with per diem counsel when needed
- Take increasing ownership over case strategy, workflow, and department operations as you grow
What We’re Looking For
- Admitted in New York
- 2-5 years of civil litigation experience
- Strong legal writer
- Comfortable with motion practice, court appearances, and independent responsibility
- Organized, practical, and able to operate in a high-volume environment
- Open to technology, systems, and process-driven legal work
- Interested in growing into a leadership role over time
Strong Plus
- Commercial litigation, collections, creditor-side, or enforcement experience
- Admission in California, Florida, and/or Virginia in addition to New York
Why This Role Is Different
- Direct mentorship from an experienced New York civil litigator
- Heavy investment in automation and systems to eliminate low-value attorney work
- Clear path toward building and leading a litigation department
- High standards, low ego, practical work environment
Location
