About the Position

The Law Office of Lawrence M. Centanni, P.C. is seeking a high-performing Associate Attorney with 3–6 years of experience in New Jersey real estate, landlord-tenant matters, and related litigation.

This is not an entry-level or training role. We are looking for an attorney who can take ownership of files, operate independently, and deliver results.

Practice Areas

  • Residential & Commercial Real Estate Transactions

  • Landlord–Tenant Litigation

  • Real Estate Litigation

  • Related Civil Litigation

What This Role Requires

This position is for an attorney who:

  • Owns files from start to finish — not just tasks

  • Can manage multiple matters simultaneously without handholding

  • Is comfortable in court and able to handle appearances independently

  • Understands deadlines are non-negotiable

  • Communicates clearly with clients, adversaries, and the court

  • Exercises sound judgment — knows when to act and when to escalate

Core Expectations

  • Full responsibility for assigned matters

  • Drafting pleadings, motions, and legal correspondence

  • Court appearances and litigation management

  • Direct client communication and file strategy

  • Coordination with staff and internal systems

  • Strict adherence to internal deadlines and accountability standards

What This Is Not

  • Not a 9–5, task-only role

  • Not a training or mentorship-heavy position

  • Not a place for partial ownership of files

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary up to $150,000

  • Performance-driven environment

  • High-level, real-world case experience

  • Direct involvement in meaningful legal work

  • Opportunity to grow within a fast-paced practice

Requirements

  • 3–6 years of relevant New Jersey experience

  • Admitted to practice in New Jersey

  • Strong drafting and litigation skills

  • Ability to work independently and manage a full caseload

How to Apply

Submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your experience and why you are a fit for this role.
