  • Experience with AIA contracts
  • Admission to practice in New York
  • Ability to serve as outside general counsel to sophisticated design and construction clients
  • Strong drafting, negotiation, and client counseling skills
  • Litigation experience is a plus but not required

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing practice and work closely with architects, engineers, and other design professionals on sophisticated construction and business matters.

Salary range: $175,000–$325,000. Compensation will be determined based on the candidate's experience, qualifications, and whether they come with a book of business.
