Job description

Construction Defect Attorney | Jacksonville | $130,000 to $200,000 | Construction Defect / Construction Litigation

Construction defect work isn't for everyone. Some attorneys look at the layered facts and the moving parts and feel their patience drain away. Others read a file like that and feel completely at home. If you're in the second group, keep reading, this one is built for you.

A Jacksonville litigation team needs someone who already speaks this language fluently, construction defect, property damage, contractors, subcontractors, expert reports, and the fine detail that only starts to matter once you're properly into a file. This isn't a training ground. They want someone who can walk in and get to work.

What stands out here is how well the practical side is set up. The billable target sits at 1,900 hours, a number built to be hit rather than quietly out of reach. Hybrid working is already part of how the team runs, with genuine plans to open that up further over time. And if you'd rather be in the office with colleagues around you than working from a screen at home, that's just as welcome. Nobody gets pushed into a setup that doesn't suit them.

What's on offer

• Salary from $130,000 to $200,000
• Billable target of 1,900 hours
• Hybrid working now, with a clear direction towards more remote flexibility
• In office working just as welcomed for those who prefer it
• A steady flow of construction defect and construction litigation matters
• Real responsibility on files, not a supporting role
• Partner access and direct client contact
• A genuine chance to build a name in a specialist niche

What they're looking for

• 2+ years of experience in construction defect or construction litigation, ideally
• Comfortable with discovery, experts, depositions, reports, mediation, or hearings
• Someone who brings order to complicated facts rather than adding to the noise
