Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP (BLB&G) is widely recognized worldwide as a leading law firm advising institutional investors on issues related to corporate governance, shareholder rights, and securities litigation. Our clients include the largest and most prominent public pension funds, banks, asset managers and insurance companies in the world.
Since our founding in 1983, BLB&G has built an international reputation for excellence and integrity and pioneered the use of the litigation process to achieve precedent-setting governance reforms. BLB&G has prosecuted many of the most high-profile frauds in history, recovering over $40 billion on behalf of investors.

About the Team and the Role

BLB&G is looking for an Associate to join the Complex Litigation 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. The group’s cases include RICO allegations against the country’s largest Pharmacy Benefit Managers, fraud claims against major social media platforms, cases involving digital privacy rights and human trafficking.

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.

  • JD is required (2021 - 2024 law school graduates); must be admitted to the New York Bar
  • 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
  • This is a hybrid role (3 days in-office (Tuesdays and Wednesdays required); 2 days work-from-home)
  • Base Salary Range: $195,000 - $320,000
