Job Information
Robert Half Attorney/Lawyer in Brooklyn, New York
Description
Our client is a well-established and reputable firm that specializes in defending clients in a wide range of lawsuits including: construction accident liability, premises liability, medical malpractice, toxic torts, products liability, personal and commercial automobile liability, and homeowner liability.
As an Associate Attorney at our firm, you will enjoy:
The chance to get into the courtroom early! We value practical learning opportunities and believe that investment in our attorneys means giving them hands-on experience instead of just learning from afar or at the dictation of a partner. You will have the opportunity to take and defend depositions, draft and argue motions, and participate in trials. And get ready to be celebrated for your wins at our bi-weekly huddles!
Independence. You won't have anyone breathing down your neck on every single thing you do. We believe that mentorship, not micromanagement, is the key to building a strong foundation as a litigator. You will be mentored by your very talented peers and by more senior attorneys and partners that have decades of combined experience.
Regular opportunities for learning and team-building. We believe that a strong organization is a people-first organization. Rapport with coworkers fosters learning on a daily basis, and regular training sessions on everything from legal strategy to emerging technologies builds a strong, intelligent, and adaptable workforce that is prepared to tackle new challenges. These training sessions often spill into our monthly happy hours, where we all can grab a drink and continue the conversation!
A generous benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, and disability insurance, as well as a 401(k) plan with employer matching and pre-tax commuter benefits. We also offer parental leave to employees who give birth, in addition to NY Paid Family Leave, as well as floating holidays and additional PTO days with additional years of employment.
A flexible work schedule that allows you to work a hybrid/remote model, depending on your case needs and court schedule, as well as a healthy work/life balance. You can't take care of others unless you also take care of you!
A driven and collaborative work culture that fosters learning, growth, and problem-solving. Questions and strategy sessions are encouraged at all levels!
A meaningful work experience that allows you to make a difference in the lives of our clients. No contribution is too small, and a seemingly small act of customer service can have a huge positive impact on someone in ways you might not realize.
