Full Job Description
Associate Attorney with one to four years of civil litigation experience who wants early responsibility and meaningful exposure on complex cases. This position offers the opportunity to work on high-exposure cases for Fortune 500 clients in a collaborative and supportive environment.

This is a hands-on role. Associates in this group don't hide in discovery. You will take and defend depositions, draft and argue substantive motions, and litigate matters from inception to resolution under the direction of senior attorneys on high-exposure litigation cases. Your matters will be diverse and meaningful and will include premises and retail liability, negligent security, products liability, rideshare liability, construction defect and injury, public entity and civil rights, and commercial auto and trucking litigation. Many of these cases involve catastrophic losses, multiple claimants, and fatalities, requiring strong judgment, organization, and strategic thinking.

While candidates are not expected to independently manage cases from day one, they will receive active mentorship, regular feedback, and increasing responsibility as they develop. Our department has produced trial lawyers who now lead teams, manage books of business, and litigate serious matters throughout Florida.

Marshall Dennehey offers a competitive salary, multiple bonus opportunities throughout the year, a comprehensive benefits package, and a firm-funded Lifestyle Account through the Marshall Associate Advantage program.
