You manage a busy docket without dropping details. JD from an accredited law school and active Florida Bar membership in good standing are required.

Bonus points for: Spanish-language ability, mediation certification, or prior solo/small-firm experience running your own cases.

What we offer

  • Health insurance, retirement plan, and generous PTO
  • CLE fully covered
  • Annual all-expenses-paid firm trip (post-eligibility)
  • A collaborative, multi-office Florida firm with a genuine commitment to work-life balance
