Our New York office of a full-service AmLaw 100 firm is seeking an attorney to join its Healthcare & Medical Malpractice Practice. The ideal candidate will be admitted to practice in New York and have one to seven years of experience representing healthcare providers in state and federal courts and administrative proceedings, with a strong background in medical malpractice and general liability defense. Connecticut Bar admission is a plus. Experience defending and litigating medical malpractice lawsuits is preferred.

Our healthcare practice is one of the largest in the country, representing healthcare providers—including hospitals, physicians, nurses, technicians, therapists, mental health counselors, pharmacists, dentists, podiatrists, clinics, convalescent homes, and other industry representatives—in state and federal courts and administrative proceedings. We handle medical malpractice actions across many specialties, including obstetrics, emergency medicine, surgery, cardiology, general practice, pulmonary medicine, nursing, orthopedics, neurology, oncology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, genetics testing, radiology, dentistry, and podiatry.

Qualified candidates will be comfortable drafting and responding to discovery and initial pleadings, drafting and arguing motions, and taking and defending depositions. Strong writing skills are essential, and candidates must be prepared to submit writing samples, including a redacted motion and a redacted client report. Strong analytical abilities and the capacity to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment are required. The successful candidate will be a self-starter who can work independently and as part of a team.

We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and a 401k with employer match.
