Real Estate Litigation Attorney | Join an Elite Peer Recognised Firm | Up to $220K DOE
Join a highly respected New York City boutique real estate law firm with over 40 years of market presence and a deep niche on the landlord/owner side of one of the most complex real estate regulatory environments in the country. The firm is expanding rapidly across litigation and transactions and is actively hiring to meet demand it can no longer turn away.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned real estate attorney seeking sophisticated, precedent-shaping work, meaningful responsibility, and long-term career growth within a tight-knit, intellectually serious practice.
Why You Should Join:
· Landmark, Market-Shaping Work
Attorneys at the firm have played central roles in precedent-setting New York cases that directly shaped rent regulation, loft law, and owner rights- including matters argued before the New York Court of Appeals with citywide implications. Associates gain exposure to impactful litigation, not routine docket work.
· Elite Niche Reputation with Peer Recognition
The firm is consistently recognized by peers within NYC’s real estate bar, with numerous attorneys named to Super Lawyers / Rising Stars lists and individual partners recognized among Best Lawyers in New York. Laterals cite the firm’s technical depth and standing in rent regulation and landlord-side litigation as key reasons for joining.
· High-Profile Clients & Complex Portfolios
The firm represents major NYC owners, developers, and institutional clients, including large multi-family portfolios and sophisticated real estate enterprises. Attorneys work on matters involving significant economic exposure, regulatory complexity, and public scrutiny—accelerating professional development and market credibility.
· Boutique Platform with Real Responsibility
Unlike large firms, attorneys here receive hands-on ownership of cases, direct client interaction, and meaningful courtroom exposure early. The firm’s growth across foreclosures, landlord-tenant litigation, Loft Law/OATH proceedings, and commercial real estate matters creates real advancement opportunities.
· Competitive Compensation & Hybrid Flexibility
Up to $220K DOE, hybrid work model, and a professional environment that values expertise, judgment, and long-term development over volume or hierarchy.
Day-to-Day:
· Handle real estate litigation including landlord-tenant disputes, co-op/condo foreclosures, and commercial real estate conflicts
· Represent owners in Loft Law and OATH hearings, DHCR proceedings, and related administrative forums
· Draft and argue motions, attend hearings, manage discovery, and develop litigation strategy
· Advise clients on regulatory risk, enforcement options, and dispute resolution
· Collaborate on matters that blend litigation and commercial real estate transactions, depending on experience and interest
Ideal Candidate:
· 5+ years of NYC real estate litigation experience
· Background in landlord-tenant, foreclosure, Loft Law, or regulatory real estate matters
