Job description

Marshall Dennehey, P.C., a leading Am Law 200 civil defense law firm with over sixty (60) years of continued service to our corporate, insurance, and individual clients, is seeking an Associate Attorney with three (3) or more years of litigation experience to join our growing Fort Lauderdale team. This is an exceptional opportunity for an aggressive attorney to litigate a variety of premises and retail liability, product liability, rideshare liability, construction defect and injury, public entity and civil rights, commercial auto and commercial trucking cases for our Fortune 500 clients. This team works as a unit and the ideal candidate is one who thrives in a collaborative environment.

The candidate’s cases will range in exposure and will include catastrophic losses, including fatalities, involving multiple claimants. This position is not for the timid as the complexity of these claims demands an ability to work proactively and creatively. Your strong analytical, writing, research and communication skills are valued at this firm. The firm welcomes candidates who thrive in our diverse, inclusive, collaborative, open-door environment where they appreciate direct access and continued support from our experienced shareholders and dynamic associates.

As this position seeks a candidate with three (3) or more years of legal experience, the candidate can expect to work with litigation group that will nourish their development. It is not immediately expected that the candidate will be able to independently manage their own cases from inception to trial. However, under our tutelage, the candidate can expect that our investments in them will help that attorney develop these skills. Feedback is continuous and the candidate’s individual goals are valued.

Marshall Dennehey seeks to hire attorneys who want to find their “forever home.” We welcome candidates who desire to advance within the firm while assisting others to do the same. To that end, we prefer a steady and consistent work history. In return, the firm offers a competitive salary including multiple financial bonus opportunities throughout the year, a comprehensive employee benefits package, a firm funded Lifestyle Account entitled “Marshall Associate Advantage”, and a sound future.

Marshall Dennehey supports and encourages workplace diversity and we are an Equal Opportunity Employer AA / M / F / D / V.
