About Pitcoff Law Group

Pitcoff Law Group is a nationally recognized, rapidly growing commercial litigation and business law firm representing founders, executives, businesses, and investors in high-stakes disputes.

We were named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies and have ranked among the Law Firm 500’s fastest-growing law firms in the country for three consecutive years, including #15 nationally in 2025 and #1 in business law and commercial litigation.

Our growth reflects the kind of firm we are building: sophisticated, responsive, entrepreneurial, and highly accountable. We combine the caliber of work and responsibility found at larger firms with the agility, access, and flexibility of a modern boutique.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Commercial Litigation Attorney to lead complex business disputes, particularly partnership and shareholder disputes, business divorces, contract disputes, fiduciary duty claims, and other significant commercial matters.

This is a role for an experienced litigator who wants real ownership. You will develop case strategy, manage matters from inception through resolution, work directly with sophisticated clients, and take the lead on the substantive decisions that move cases forward.

Our attorneys work in a remote-first environment built around autonomy, responsiveness, and trust. The model offers meaningful flexibility, but it works because our attorneys are highly organized, technologically capable, proactive communicators, and fully engaged with their clients and colleagues.

We also value the connection that comes from working together in person. The team meets monthly in New York City, and our Manhattan office is available for client meetings, collaboration, and other situations where being together adds value.

For the right attorney, this is an opportunity to do sophisticated work, have greater control over how you practice, and play an important role in a firm that is continuing to grow.

What You'll Do
  • Lead complex commercial litigation matters from intake through resolution
  • Develop and execute litigation strategy in partnership, shareholder, business divorce, contract, fiduciary duty, and related disputes
  • Draft and argue substantive motions
  • Lead discovery, including complex document discovery and depositions
  • Prepare for and participate in hearings, arbitrations, mediations, and trials
  • Negotiate strategically and effectively on behalf of clients
  • Advise founders, executives, business owners, and companies on litigation strategy, risk, and practical business considerations
  • Maintain clear, proactive communication with clients
  • Collaborate with firm leadership and colleagues on significant matters and case strategy
  • Take ownership of deadlines, case progression, and client expectations
  • Contribute to the continued development of the firm's litigation practice
What We're Looking For
  • 10+ years of substantial commercial litigation experience
  • Significant experience handling complex business disputes
  • Strong background in motion practice, discovery, depositions, negotiations, and case strategy
  • Meaningful courtroom, arbitration, evidentiary hearing, and/or trial experience; first-chair trial experience is strongly preferred
  • Experience with partnership, shareholder, ownership, fiduciary duty, or business divorce disputes is highly desirable
  • Excellent legal writing and oral advocacy skills
  • Strong judgment and the ability to independently manage and advance sophisticated matters
  • Exceptional client communication and relationship-management skills
  • Highly organized, responsive, and accountable
  • Comfortable using technology to manage matters, collaborate, communicate, and work efficiently
  • Able to thrive in a remote environment through proactive communication, strong organization, and consistent follow-through
  • Admission to the New York Bar required
  • Florida admission is a plus
Why Join Pitcoff Law Group
  • Own significant matters. Senior attorneys are expected to lead, not simply support. You will have meaningful responsibility for strategy, client relationships, and outcomes.
  • Do sophisticated work in a growing platform. Our commercial litigation practice continues to expand, creating opportunities for experienced attorneys to take on increasingly important matters and responsibilities.
  • Work with greater autonomy. Our remote-first model gives experienced attorneys meaningful flexibility while preserving the collaboration, responsiveness, and standards expected of a high-performing litigation team.
  • Work directly with clients. You will advise business owners, executives, and companies facing consequential disputes and be closely involved in the decisions that matter to them.
  • Have an impact beyond your caseload. As the firm grows, senior attorneys have the opportunity to influence strategy, client service, internal processes, and the development of the practice.
  • Grow with the firm. Increased leadership responsibility is available to attorneys who consistently demonstrate strong judgment, performance, client service, and impact.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Base salary of $175,000-$225,000 + performance-based bonus, commensurate with experience
  • Annual billable requirement of 1,680 hours
  • Health insurance options with up to 100% of individual premiums covered
  • Dental and vision insurance
  • Short- and long-term disability and life insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer contribution
  • Paid holidays, vacation, sick leave, and personal time
  • Remote-first work environment with monthly in-person team meetings in New York City
