There are 643 live legal jobs in New York on Aplyr right now, 43 of them posted in the last 7 days.

Across 135 recent postings that list pay, the typical advertised salary is about $172k a year. 7% are fully remote.
New York mixes finance, media, adtech and a large startup scene, so the same title can mean a trading-floor team in Midtown or a ten-person seed company in Brooklyn. Legal openings include in-house counsel, paralegal, contracts and compliance roles; in-house teams increasingly favour candidates who already know the industry they regulate.
This page tracks open roles for attorneys, paralegals and compliance staff in the New York City metro, pulled straight from employers' own applicant tracking systems rather than reposted from other job boards. Use the filters to narrow by salary, experience level, remote options and visa sponsorship, or let Aplyr's Autopilot apply to matching roles for you.

About this list
What’s included. This page shows roles classified as Legal, located in the New York area (New York, New York City, Brooklyn, Manhattan), newest first. Postings come directly from employers’ own career sites, not from other job boards.
How it stays fresh. Aplyr re-checks sources throughout the day and drops a posting as soon as the employer closes it. The page itself is rebuilt daily and the “updated” time at the top refreshes live. Snapshot as of Nov 1, 2026.
Quality filters. The table only shows postings from the last 90 days, newest first, and rows with neither a salary nor a location are moved to the bottom. 10 postings in the latest batch were hidden because the title didn’t match this list’s role family.
