Job description

Insurance Defense Attorney | Orlando, FL | $120,000 to $180,000 | Auto & Premises Liability

If your current firm keeps promising mentoring "next quarter" while quietly loading up your caseload, this one's worth a look.

I'm recruiting for a smaller, established defense firm in Orlando that's built its reputation on doing things properly. Not the biggest name in town, but one of the more stable ones, with leadership that's actually present and involved rather than locked in a corner office.

The work:

• Mostly auto and premises liability defense, from early investigation through trial
• Open to attorneys with broader litigation backgrounds too, general liability, PI defense, that kind of thing
• A caseload that's busy but sane, with billable targets that are genuinely hit-able rather than aspirational
• Direct access to partners on your files, not just sign off at the end

What you're walking into:

• A small team where you're a name, not a number
• Real training and development, not a one line mention in the offer letter
• A clear path upward for attorneys who want to build a career here, not just clock in
• Full support to grow your trial and deposition experience with people who'll actually show you how

Worth knowing before you apply:

This is a fully in office role. If you're deep into hybrid working and unwilling to budge, this probably isn't the one. But if you'd rather be around colleagues who can help you when a file gets tricky, and a firm that invests time in getting you there, it's a good trade.

What I'm looking for:

• 3 to 5 years plus of defense litigation experience
• Florida Bar admission in good standing
