Boyd Richards Parker & Colonnelli is a fast-growing civil defense law firm with 70 lawyers and over two decades of continued service to our corporate, insurance, and individual clients. We continue to experience staggering growth and are actively searching for experienced Associate Attorneys with 3-10 years of litigation experience to join our Fort Lauderdale team. This is an exceptional opportunity for the candidate to litigate a variety of premises liability, product liability, construction defect and injury, public entity and civil rights, commercial auto and trucking cases, among others.

Expect a comprehensive employee benefits package and room for growth.
