Job Description
A well-established plaintiffs' firm known for handling high-value, complex litigation is looking to add a Litigation Associate to its Tampa team. This is a confidential search on behalf of a firm with a strong track record of achieving meaningful results for clients who have suffered serious harm. The firm values attorneys who are driven, thorough, and committed to client-centered advocacy.
About the Practice
The firm handles sophisticated, multi-party litigation on behalf of injured individuals and their families. Cases regularly involve extensive discovery, active motion practice, and preparation for — and participation in — trial, with a history of significant client recoveries.
What You'll Do
In this role, you will be involved across all stages of complex litigation, including:
Conducting case investigations and developing the factual record
Overseeing written discovery and document review processes
Taking and defending depositions
Authoring pleadings, motions, and legal memoranda
Building trial strategy and participating in courtroom proceedings
Junior associates typically participate as supporting trial counsel, with a clear pathway toward increased courtroom responsibility, including lead trial roles, as skills advance.
Client-facing work is a meaningful part of this position. You will regularly engage with individuals and families managing serious and life-altering situations, and will be expected to approach those relationships with care, discretion, and professionalism.
What We're Looking For
At least two years of experience on the plaintiff side of personal injury matters, with direct trial exposure
Active Florida Bar membership in good standing
Demonstrated ability to connect with clients from a wide range of backgrounds
Strong written and analytical skills — submission of an original writing sample (brief or memo) is encouraged
Preferred Background
Hands-on experience with motion practice, discovery, and depositions
Judicial clerkship experience is a plus
Exposure to complex or multi-defendant litigation is helpful but not required
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $120,000 – $185,000, with additional performance-based year-end compensation
Fully employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance
Four weeks of paid time off per year
Short- and long-term disability coverage
401(k) plan with additional benefits
