*NJ Bar required*
The ideal candidate will be a people person who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about providing top-notch legal service to our clients. Knowledge of landlord-tenant law is required as is knowledge of court rules and motion practice. Knowledge of RE transactions or condominium law is a plus but not necessary.

Prepare legal notices and represent landlords in all phases of non-payment and “for cause” holdover evictions.
Handle matters in Special Civil Part from inception through trial – draft pleadings, limited discovery demands and conduct trials.

A typical day may involve handing landlord-tenant matters in the morning/early afternoon followed by office time to prepare legal notices and to handle matters pending in Special Civil Part (including trials). As you progress in your career, our expectation is that you will develop the following skills as an attorney:
Legal Research and Analysis: Conduct legal research to support and provide valuable insight to other attorneys handling matters in Law Division and Federal Court .
Drafting Legal Documents: Prepare legal documents such as pleadings, motions, briefs, and other litigation-related material.
Client Interaction: Develop and maintain strong client relationships by being a responsive and effective communicator, understanding client needs, and ensuring client satisfaction. The partners have an open door policy and will assist in out of office activities – seminars, dinners/drinks, etc. – to help cultivate a client base for the attorney.
Courtroom Representation: Assist in courtroom proceedings, including hearings, trials, and depositions, under the guidance of senior attorneys, and eventually handle your own caseload in Law Division and Chancery.
We offer a collegial environment and understand the pressures of daily life. All members of the firm – attorneys and staff – work hard but also know how to have fun. We have monthly team outings/dinners to strengthen relationships within the firm; some of our previous outings include bowling night, Top Golf, Red Bulls game, Devils game and axe throwing.
