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

Benefits

• Self-directed but collaborative
• Handle real cases from day one with the support of an experienced team behind you
• File fast, litigate aggressively, and give attorneys ownership of their matters rather than burying them in a single narrow task
• 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
