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
