Boutique litigation firm is seeking experienced part-time of counsel to handle cases on an hourly basis. A successful candidate will have handled cases as attorney of record in both NYS Supreme and federal District court. Legal research and writing support is provided by the firm.
The firm has a particular need for help with in-person court appearances, discovery help, and potentially trial help in a matter that our full-time of counsel did not want to be involved in. This is because our client is being sued for defamation and harassment by two lawyers and is counterclaiming for malpractice among other things, so you must be comfortable working with such a situation. This client has a history of both good and bad relationships with various attorneys and has not had a contentious relationship with the majority of attorneys she has worked with, which is why our firm felt comfortable taking this case. But we understand that this is not the right situation for everyone.
