Overview:
Associate Attorney – Commercial Litigation
Fort Lauderdale, FL

Responsibilities
You'll be embedded in active commercial litigation matters from filing through trial, not watching from the sidelines. That means drafting motions and pleadings, conducting legal research that shapes case strategy, and preparing documents for commercial transactions and entity formations. You'll interact directly with clients, learning how to translate complex legal analysis into clear, actionable advice. You'll also collaborate with senior attorneys on litigation strategy and business development, giving you early exposure to the full lifecycle of a client relationship.

JD from an accredited law school
Active Florida Bar license in good standing (required)
2+ years of experience in commercial Litigation or similar areas
Strong legal writing, research, and analytical skills
The ability to juggle multiple matters without losing attention to detail
A collaborative mindset and real enthusiasm for commercial litigation, transactions, and corporate advisory work
Prior experience in commercial litigation or transactional work is a plus, not a prerequisite
Familiarity with legal tech tools for case management or document drafting is a bonus
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary with a realistic, achievable annual bonus
Company-paid PPO health insurance, plus dental and vision options
Generous PTO, floating holidays, and dedicated mental health days
401(k) with employer match
Structured mentorship and a clear path for advancement
A firm culture that's diverse, inclusive, and genuinely supportive — not just on paper
