About the Firm

Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP (BLB&G) is widely recognized as one of the leading law firms worldwide. Our clients include the largest and most prominent public pension funds, health and benefit funds, asset managers and insurance companies in the world.

Since our founding in 1983, we have prosecuted many of the most high-profile class actions in history, recovering over $40 billion on behalf of plaintiff-classes. The firm is widely recognized by industry observers as a leader in the field, ( “the best advice in the field – Chambers USA; “one of the best bar none…impressive achievements and excellent reputation” – Benchmark Litigation). Our reputation for integrity and competence has won us praise from the bench, the respect of our adversaries, and the allegiance of our clients.

About the Team and the Role

BLB&G is looking for an Associate to join a new practice group in our New York office, where you will help develop and litigate complex litigation matters on behalf of the firm’s clients. This position presents an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated, entrepreneurial candidate who is passionate about plaintiff-side litigation and thinks critically and creatively about potential legal claims and litigation strategy.

While representing investors in complex cases, our litigators work towards achieving precedent-setting reforms to increase transparency, correct economic or negotiating imbalances, hold wrongdoers accountable and improve corporate business practices. BLB&G has recorded more multi-billion-dollar recoveries than any other firm, including in cases against WorldCom ($6.2 billion), Cendant ($3.3 billion), Bank of America ($2.4 billion), Nortel ($1.07 billion) and Merck ($1.05 billion). Recent high-profile successes include obtaining recoveries against Wells Fargo, Kraft and Allianz. The firm is currently lead counsel in prominent cases against Boeing and Meta.

  • Related experience in complex litigation is required; no securities litigation experience is required for this role
  • Strong academic and professional credentials required; judicial clerkships are a plus
  • Excellent writing and legal research skills
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, a proactive approach, and the readiness to take opportunity and run with it is necessary
  • Ability and desire to take a meaningful role in multiple complex cases, often opposite significantly more senior lawyers
  • Excellent time management, multitasking and communication skills are essential
Position Details:
  • This is a full-time, exempt position based in New York, NY

  • $195,000 - $320,000
