Real Estate Litigation Associate

Description:

Real Estate Litigation Associate (Construction Focus)

Location/Schedule: New York City, NY – (Hybrid flexibility)

Practice: Real Estate Litigation with a Construction Focus - developer representation, construction disputes, delay and defect claims, mechanic’s liens, breach of contract, guarantor liability, landlord-tenant matters, and related commercial real estate litigation in NYC courts and administrative forums

I’m working with a Manhattan real estate boutique known for representing developers and owners in active construction and property disputes across New York City. The practice sits close to the business side of development, handling litigation that arises directly from ongoing projects, leasing relationships, and complex construction issues.

What stands out about this opportunity:

Developer & Construction-Driven Practice

Significant portion of the docket involves construction disputes, project delays, defect claims, and lien litigation tied to active NYC developments.

Immediate Case Ownership

Associates inherit an active caseload and take point on litigation strategy, court appearances, and negotiations from early on.

No Billable Hour Target

The firm operates without formal billing quotas, allowing focus on litigation outcomes, client relationships, and strategic advocacy.

Access to an Established NYC Network

Work alongside founding partner Bruce Bronster, whose longstanding relationships within the real estate and hospitality communities drive sophisticated matters and repeat business.
