    Description

    Overview

    Whistler Partners is partnering with a nationally recognized commercial litigation practice seeking a junior to mid-level associate (1–4 years) to join its New York office.

    The group handles sophisticated business disputes in state and federal courts and arbitrations, with a focus on complex commercial litigation across industries. This is an excellent opportunity for a developing litigator to gain meaningful reps within a collaborative, high-performance litigation platform.

    Why this role?

    This team staffs matters leanly and gives associates substantive responsibility early. You'll work on complex disputes involving contract performance, fiduciary duties, debtor-creditor matters, partnership and shareholder disputes, supply/vendor agreements, unfair competition, and consumer class actions.

    Associates are expected to take ownership of key aspects of cases—drafting substantive motions, managing discovery, participating in strategy discussions, and interfacing directly with clients. The culture emphasizes strong client service, teamwork, and professional growth.

    This is ideal for someone who wants hands-on experience in serious commercial litigation without being siloed into a narrow function.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Manage and support commercial litigation matters in state and federal courts and arbitrations.
    • Draft pleadings and contested motions, including motions to dismiss, summary judgment, preliminary injunctions, and class certification briefing.
    • Conduct substantive legal research and motion drafting.
    • Take and defend depositions or prepare outlines and witnesses.
    • Manage written discovery, including drafting and responding to document requests and interrogatories.
    • Argue motions as appropriate based on experience level.
    • Collaborate closely with partners and clients on case strategy.

    Top Requirements

    • 1–4 years of commercial litigation experience.
    • Large law firm or established boutique litigation training required.
    • Experience handling complex disputes in state or federal court or arbitration.
    • Strong motion practice and discovery experience.
    • Excellent writing and oral advocacy skills.
    • Demonstrated interest in complex commercial litigation.
    • Clerkship experience is a plus but not required.
    • Strong client-service mindset and collaborative approach.

    TL;DR

    NYC commercial litigation role for junior–mid associates (1–4 years) handling complex business disputes with meaningful responsibility and strong compensation.
