Job Description

Partner-Level Attorney – Mortgage Foreclosure Litigation

Location: New York, NY — Remote, Hybrid, or In-Office | Practice Area: Mortgage Foreclosure Litigation (Lender-Side)

About the Opportunity

Kelley Kronenberg is seeking an entrepreneurial, partner-level attorney to help lead our New York foreclosure practice. This role is built for a lawyer who represents lenders and servicers in mortgage foreclosure litigation, has a portable book of business, and wants a platform with the resources to grow it. You'll set the direction of your own practice and be measured on results — from our New York City office, or remotely or on a hybrid schedule, whichever fits how you work best.

What makes this different is the balance of independence and backing. You run your practice your way, with the full weight of a large firm behind you: a dedicated business development team, in-house marketing, modern legal technology, and experienced paralegal and administrative support that keeps your time on the work only you can do. As a growing, AV-rated national firm with a collegial, knowledge-sharing culture, we give your own client development real reach — and colleagues who are invested in your success.

Your Responsibilities

• Own mortgage foreclosure matters end to end — from initial filing through final resolution — for a portfolio of lender and servicer clients.
• Handle substantive motion practice and pleadings, supported by thorough legal research and analysis.
• Manage an active foreclosure litigation docket, keeping every matter on schedule and every client fully informed.
• Appear on behalf of clients in court, including at trials, hearings, depositions, and conferences.
• Serve as strategic counsel, delivering clear guidance and proactive case updates.
• Work alongside fellow attorneys and support staff to deliver consistent, high-caliber representation.

Required Education & Experience

• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school.
• Admission to the New York State Bar, in good standing (New Jersey Bar admission a plus).
• At least six years representing lenders in mortgage foreclosure litigation.
• Sharp analytical, research, and legal-writing skills.
• A track record of carrying complex litigation from intake through resolution.
• Working knowledge of default-servicing platforms such as LPS/Black Knight and Tempo (a plus).
• The ability to manage a high-volume, deadline-driven caseload independently.
• Strong communication and client-relationship skills.
• A portable book of business.

Perks of Working at Kelley Kronenberg

• Competitive base salary plus a rewarding, growth-oriented compensation structure.
• Firm-paid PPO medical coverage, with dental and vision options.
• Paid time off, floating holidays, and a dedicated mental health day.
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
• A diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.
• Ongoing professional development and mentorship.
• In-office perks — stocked snacks, Friday breakfasts, and firm-wide social events.
