Ready to take your litigation career beyond traditional insurance defense?

An established Miami-based litigation firm is seeking two experienced Associate Attorneys to join its growing defense practice.

This opportunity is ideal for attorneys with backgrounds in insurance defense, commercial litigation, premises liability, transportation litigation, or complex civil defense who want to expand their experience into sophisticated maritime and cruise-line litigation.

Prior maritime or admiralty experience is welcome but not required.

The firm represents prominent corporate and international clients in complex matters involving maritime law, civil litigation, and federal court proceedings.

Attorneys joining the team will gain meaningful case responsibility, direct client exposure, and the opportunity to develop their litigation and trial skills alongside experienced practitioners.

What You'll Do

• Manage a diverse caseload of civil and maritime defense litigation matters.
• Draft pleadings, motions, discovery responses, and legal memoranda.
• Conduct and defend depositions, participate in mediations, and attend court hearings.
• Develop litigation strategies and manage cases through resolution.
• Work directly with corporate clients, experts, and opposing counsel.
• Assist with trial preparation and federal court proceedings.
• Collaborate with experienced litigation partners on complex, high-value matters.

What We're Looking For

• Juris Doctor (JD) and active Florida Bar membership in good standing.
• Approximately 3–7+ years of substantive civil litigation experience.
• Background in insurance defense, commercial litigation, premises liability, transportation defense, or related civil defense matters.
• Strong deposition, discovery, motion practice, and case management experience.
• Excellent legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills.
• Ability to independently manage litigation matters and meet deadlines.
• Federal court litigation experience is a plus.
• Maritime or admiralty experience is a plus, not a requirement.
• Willingness to travel domestically when required.
• Base salary: $130,000–$150,000, depending on experience.
• Performance-based bonus opportunity.
• Hybrid work schedule following the first 60 days.
• Exposure to sophisticated litigation involving nationally and internationally recognized clients.
• Opportunities for professional development, mentorship, and increased case responsibility.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

If you've built a strong foundation in insurance defense or civil litigation and are looking for a practice that offers greater variety, complex matters, and long-term growth, this could be an excellent next step.

You don't need to come from a maritime firm to succeed here.

Strong litigation fundamentals, sound judgment, and the ability to manage cases are what matter most.
