  • Develop case strategy collaboratively with partners, contributing your own analytical perspective on complex matters
  • Interview witnesses and retain experts; negotiate directly with opposing counsel toward favorable resolutions
  • Cultivate direct client relationships from early in your tenure, supporting long-term account stewardship
 
What you need
  • Active membership in good standing with the Florida Bar
  • Minimum 2 years of civil litigation defense experience (general, premises, or product liability)
  • Demonstrated ability to manage cases independently from pleadings through discovery and motion practice
  • Strong legal research and writing skills with a track record of clear, persuasive work product
  • Ability to commute to and work full-time in-office at the Tampa, FL office
 
Nice to have
  • 3-5 years of civil litigation defense experience
  • Prior first-chair or second-chair trial experience
  • Established relationships with Florida defense bar or insurance carrier clients
  • Experience with premises liability or product liability specifically

  • 18 days PTO plus paid parental leave
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance; firm-paid HSA contributions on select plans
