The Company
Friedman Vartolo LLP is a rapidly growing New York based real estate and default services law firm with 250+ employees across six states. The firm prides itself not solely on its superior legal product, but also on its innovative approach to business and problem solving. We offer a fresh, fast-paced energy, with a startup vibe.
The Position
At Friedman Vartolo LLP, we don't just practice law - we shape the conversation around it. We believe our value to clients goes beyond the courtroom. It starts with insight: early, accurate, and actionable information about the legal developments that impact their business.
We're building something rare - an industry-leading law firm that's also the industry's leading content provider. Whether it's a shift in foreclosure procedure, a new bankruptcy ruling, or an overlooked regulation with major implications, we want our clients to hear it from us first - clearly, intelligently, and with real depth.
That's where you come in.
We're seeking a JD-level legal writer and researcher to anchor our content efforts. As a Legal Content Creator, you'll dive deep into the laws that govern real estate, debt, default services, and bankruptcy - and write thoughtful, long-form pieces that help our clients understand what's happening and why it matters.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct Primary Legal Research: Stay on top of court decisions, regulatory changes, and legislative developments across our practice areas. You'll be our eyes and ears in the law.
- Write Long-Form Articles and Insights: Draft clear, well-organized content for publication on our website, in newsletters, and across our client-facing channels.
- Support Timely Legal Updates: Turn breaking news into sharp, digestible updates - quickly, and with accuracy.
- Collaborate with Internal Experts: Work alongside attorneys and client relations staff to identify issues worth writing about and ensure our content stays aligned with practice realities.
- Maintain a Legal Content Pipeline: Keep a steady stream of ideas and drafts moving, aligned with what's new, what's changing, and what clients need to know.
Requirements:
- Juris Doctor (JD) required
- Bar admission not required
- Superior legal research and writing skills
- Genuine interest in real estate, secured debt, foreclosure, and bankruptcy law
- Ability to write both quickly and thoughtfully
- Precision and clarity in legal analysis
- Strong work ethic and attention to detail
- Comfortable reading and analyzing court decisions
Preferred (Not Required):
- Experience writing legal content for external audiences (e.g., blogs, newsletters, publications)
- Law review or journal background
- Strong performance in legal writing or research classes (grades welcome)
- Familiarity with tools like Westlaw, Lexis, or Bloomberg Law
To Apply:
Please submit:
- Resume
- 1-2 legal writing samples (client-friendly, long-form, or academic welcome)
- (Optional but encouraged) Law school transcript or writing course grades

We offer a compensation package that will be commensurate with experience and a competitive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, flex spending, 401k and gym/fitness membership reimbursement.
