Job Description Are You the Trial Lawyer Who's Ready to Fight? Are you a New York-licensed attorney with a passion for fighting on behalf of the disabled and catastrophically injured? Do you dream of trying real cases, making a meaningful difference in your clients' lives, and working with a team that actually goes to trial-instead of just talking about it? Are you tired of pushing paper for a partner who hasn't stepped foot in a courtroom since Bush was president? If you're nodding yes, keep reading. Who We Are: At The New York Injury & Malpractice Law Firm, P.C., we're not like the firms that settle fast and avoid trial. We fight for maximum justice for victims of medical negligence and catastrophic harm. Our purpose is simple and bold: Stopping Medical Injustice. We're based in the beautiful Hudson Valley, with a modern and flexible workplace culture (yes, you can work from home), a team-first mindset, and systems that bring structure, clarity, and peace of mind to your day. What You'll Do: • Lead jury trials in high-stakes medical malpractice and wrongful death cases, • Represent injured clients from intake through verdict, • Prepare pleadings, motions, and legal memos, • Take and defend depositions, • Negotiate settlements that reflect your client's true losses, • Attend court appearances and occasional in-office client meetings, • Collaborate with litigation paralegals, trial paralegals, and our new case managers What You Bring: • J.D. from an accredited law school, • Admitted to the New York Bar, • Experience in at least 3 jury trials, • Deep understanding of New York med mal and personal injury law, • Strong advocacy skills in voir dire, cross-exam, and closing, • Empathy, bedside manner, and a calling to serve, • Hunger to master your craft and grow as a trial lawyer Compensation: • Base Salary: $150,000/year, • Bonus Compensation: In addition to your base salary, you'll earn a generous performance-based bonus equal to 5% to 8% of the firm's legal fee on every assigned case. This is not a cap—your earning potential rises with every verdict, every settlement, and every client you fight for. You will have the potential to exceed six figures in bonus compensation alone. Benefits: • Full health insurance, retirement plan, and firm-paid CLE, • Equity Opportunity: Eligible for an equity ownership interest in the firm-vesting after 3 years of employment, • Trial-First Culture: Immediate trial opportunities with complex, high-stakes cases, • Flexibility to work remotely with structured systems in place Why You'll Love it Here: • A mission-driven firm committed to changing lives, • Elite support team and mentorship from John H. Fisher, a nationally recognized expert in law firm marketing and management and author of 2 bestselling books, The Power of a System and The Law Firm of Your Dreams, • Systems that support your best work-not chaos, • Opportunity to make a profound difference-and build a legacy How to Apply: We don't want a cookie-cutter résumé. Here's how to stand out: 2. Include a writing sample (preferably a trial brief or closing argument), 3. Résumé and references welcome-but your fire and grit matter more. This Isn't a Job. It's a Calling. If you believe that law is about more than billable hours... If you believe in accountability, in restoring dignity, in making the system work for the people it forgets... Then this is your moment. Apply now and join our mission to stop medical injustice-one trial at a time.
