“It is the satisfaction of working with other people here and to come out prevailing in the end ”
Introduction
My name is Scot Cashman, and I am a litigation attorney here at Adam Leitman Bailey PC, where I work on commercial and real estate litigation. I joined the firm in late 2010, so I’ve been here for almost seven years. The challenge of taking on a tough case and collaborating with all of my colleagues, who are experts in various areas of real estate litigation, is what I enjoy most. We build strong legal strategies together, hoping to find the best solution for our clients.
What Sets the Firm Apart
For starters, we are a boutique firm specializing in real estate litigation. If you’re looking for a firm with a deep concentration and mastery of a specific area of law, this is the place to be. Real estate, particularly real estate finance, is one of the major areas of concentration in the New York City legal market. We truly cover all the bases when it comes to real estate.
Learning and Growth
Since joining the firm, I’ve learned a tremendous amount about working with clients, understanding their businesses, and gaining insight into how the real estate market and the city work. I’ve also learned about the many areas where litigation can arise in the course of real estate development, ownership, purchases, and sales.
Satisfaction in the Work
Generally, what I enjoy most is the satisfaction of collaborating with other people here to take a case that may seem challenging at first and working together to prevail. It’s incredibly fulfilling when that happens, especially knowing that you’ve tackled a tough issue head-on and come out on top.
Advice for Future Associates
For any future associates, I would say that if you’re looking to get out of general practice and into a more specialized area, real estate litigation is the right choice. The firm’s heavy concentration on real estate will likely appeal to you. However, you need to be prepared to work hard and thrive in a high-pressure environment. Real estate deals often come with tight deadlines and demanding clients. Our goal is to outdo our competitors and deliver results that are superior. All of that comes with pressure, so if that sounds like the kind of challenge you want, you’ll thrive here.
