Job description

General Liability Defense Attorney | Miami, FL | $130,000 to $200,000

Miami has no shortage of firms that will keep you busy. Work is everywhere. What's rare is a role that actually gives you room to work the way you work best.

I'm recruiting for a Miami firm building out its general liability defense team, and the flexibility here is genuinely worth your attention. Start hybrid, and once you're settled in and up to speed, there's a real path to going fully remote if that's what suits you. Prefer the office? That stays an option too. This isn't a policy that quietly disappears once you sign, it's built into how the team actually operates.

The work

• Broad general liability defense covering premises, bodily injury and related claims across a varied caseload
• Your own caseload, run properly, from pleadings and discovery through depositions and trial
• Direct contact with clients and carriers early, not years down the line
• Hybrid now, with flexibility to shift fully remote for the right person once you've found your footing
• A progression path you can actually see, not one you have to guess at

Who I'm looking for

• 2 to 8+ years of civil litigation experience, defense side preferred
• Admitted to The Florida Bar
• Comfortable running a deposition without a partner in the room
• Bilingual Spanish is a plus, not a requirement

Why this one's different

• Genuine flexibility on where and how you work, not just a line in the job description
• Broad GL exposure that keeps the work varied instead of repetitive
• Real support behind you so your time goes on the law, not the admin
• Long standing client relationships, so you're building a career, not working through a pile of files

Any firm in Miami can offer you more work. Fewer can offer you the flexibility to do it your way. If that sounds like a better fit than where you are now, this is worth a conversation.
