Civil Litigation Attorney - Construction Law [HE143] Hybrid

Full job description

Magaziner Law, P.A., a Construction Law and Civil Litigation firm in Dunedin, FL, seeks a qualified Litigation Associate to join its growing team. The ideal candidate will have two or more years of civil litigation and a solid understanding of billable hour and time-tracking requirements (preferred). Experience in construction litigation or the construction industry is a plus but not required. Insurance defense experience is very much acceptable and valued.

Applicant Requirements

To be considered for the position, all applicants must:

• Be a member of the Florida Bar in good standing
• Be able to commute to the office each workday (with some remote opportunities available)
• Be able to travel as required for court appearances, client meetings, mediations, and site inspections
• Possess strong analytical, research, writing, grammatical, and communication skills

Magaziner Law is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all qualified applicants and make hiring decisions based on merit. Recruitment, hiring, training, and job assignments are made without regard to race, color, national origin, age, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, disability, or any other protected classification. We are a veteran-owned organization and strongly encourage candidates with prior military service to apply. Cultural diversity is highly valued, and bilingual ability—particularly English/Spanish—is a significant plus.

Position Responsibilities

• Manage both transactional and litigation matters
• Prepare and negotiate contracts and construction-related documents
• Prepare and enforce liens
• Conduct formal discovery
• Conduct and defend depositions
• Perform legal research and draft memoranda analyzing complex legal issues
• Draft and argue motions
• Attend hearings, mediations, and trials
• Work directly with clients and play an active role in strategy and case development

Firm Culture & Growth Opportunities

We foster a highly collaborative, supportive, and team-oriented environment, where associates work closely with attorneys and staff and gain direct exposure to clients and decision-making. This role offers a tremendous amount of collaboration, hands-on experience, and the opportunity to manage an independent caseload from inception through trial.

This position is not for the timid. The claims are often unique, complex, and technical in nature, requiring attorneys to be innovative, proactive, and creative.

For associates who consistently deliver high-quality work and demonstrate reliability, initiative, and strong client relationships, a clear partnership track is available.

Compensation & Bonus Structure

• Starting salary: $125,000, commensurate with experience
• Amazing bonus structure, including:
• Performance-based bonuses
• Additional bonus potential tied to any book of business you bring in
• Our comprehensive benefits package includes medical, dental, vision, life, accident, disability, and cancer insurance. We are a small, close-knit firm committed to long-term growth—for both our attorneys and our practice.
