Job description

Description:

At McMichael Taylor Gray, LLC we help our clients navigate complex legal challenges – and we do it with a team that genuinely supports each other. We’re looking for a Bankruptcy Attorney licensed in New York who’s ready to own a substantive caseload, grow their expertise, and be part of a value-driven firm.

Requirements:

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

You’ll be managing your own caseload of high-volume bankruptcy matters from start to finish – and your work will matter. Day-to-day you can expect to:

  • Manage a statewide bankruptcy caseload and keep things moving efficiently
  • Prepare and file motions, pleadings, Proofs of Claim, Payment Change Notices, and other key documents
  • Conduct Chapter 13 Plan Reviews and draft Objections to plan, where necessary
  • Attend court hearings (virtual and in-person)
  • Be the go-to liaison between the firm, clients, courts, trustees and outside counsel for your caseload
  • Handle time-sensitive escalations and keep client systems accurately updated

What We’re Looking for

You don’t have to check every box – but here’s what sets up a strong candidate for success:

  • Juris Doctor from an accredited law school and an active New York Bar Membership in good standing is required.
  • While three (3+) years of Bankruptcy experience is preferred - including Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Chapter 13 and plan confirmation exposure – it is not required. We’re committed to training candidates who show the right aptitude and work ethic. Salary is commensurate with experience.
  • Comfort with high-volume, deadline driven environments (you stay organized without being asked twice).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills – you can explain complex issues clearly to diverse audiences.
  • Ability to travel as needed to attend hearings and other court appearances.
  • Commitment to upholding ethical standards and maintaining client confidentiality.
  • Bonus: Experience in real estate, mortgage, or commercial litigation; knowledge of FDCPA, RESPA, or TILA; or a background in foreclosure law (if not, we’ll help you learn).
