Commercial Litigator - Motions, Depositions and Trial Preparation

We are looking for a Commercial Litigator with 5–6 years of experience to join Davidoff Hutcher & Citron's busy litigation group and run cases with real independence. This is not a document review role — you'll be writing briefs, taking depositions, and standing up in court from day one. If you're a hungry, gritty litigator ready to own your docket and build your own client relationships, this is the opportunity.

What will you be doing?

• 
  

  Run commercial cases independently from pleadings through dispositive motions and trial prep

  
  


• 
  

  Draft briefs and motions start to finish; argue discovery motions and cover court conferences in state and federal court

  
  


• 
  

  Take and defend substantive depositions across a broad commercial docket (business divorce, B2B disputes, real estate, employment)

  
  


• 
  

  Collaborate with senior partners and cross-practice groups (government relations, real estate, corporate) on complex matters

  
  


• 
  

  Build your own client relationships with 15% origination credit on business you bring in

  
  

Key Requirements

• 
  

  5–6 years of commercial litigation experience (strong candidates slightly outside this range considered)

  
  


• 
  

  Proven ability to write briefs independently from a blank page to filing

  
  


• 
  

  Substantive deposition experience and motion practice in state and/or federal court

  
  


• 
  

  Admitted to the New York bar (or able to be admitted promptly)

  
  


• 
  

  Ability to work in-office Monday through Thursday in Midtown Manhattan
