Bankruptcy Associate Attorney

Job Details

• Manage a caseload of consumer and small-business bankruptcy matters from intake through discharge, including drafting petitions, handling Section 341 meetings, responding to motions and objections, and appearing in court.
• Depending on your strengths, you may also work on contested matters, adversary proceedings, and foreclosure defense filings.
• Work directly with clients, so comfort explaining options in plain language matters as much as technical skill.

Qualifications

• Admitted to practice in New York (in good standing)
• 2+ years of bankruptcy experience (consumer Ch. 7/13 strongly preferred; Ch. 11/Sub V a plus)
• Comfortable in court and managing your own docket
• Strong drafting and client-communication skills
• Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, or Russian a plus given our client base
• Self-directed but collaborative

Why Join Us?

You'll handle real cases from day one with the support of an experienced team behind you. We file fast, litigate aggressively, and give attorneys ownership of their matters rather than burying them in a single narrow task. Five departments under one roof means you can build genuine expertise across bankruptcy, negotiation, and litigation. Daytime and evening hours, multiple office locations, and a steady pipeline of work make this a place to grow a durable practice, not grind anonymously.
