Associate Attorney, Complex Commercial Litigation

Associate Attorney, Complex Commercial Litigation

A boutique firm with a national reputation in complex commercial litigation, bankruptcy and restructuring is seeking a mid-level (5–7 years) associate who thrives in a high-expectation environment and aligns with the firm's Core Values: Commit. Collaborate. Create. Communicate. Care. They hire people who take ownership, bring creative thinking to legal challenges, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to clients, colleagues, and community.

What You'll Do

• Work side by side with partners and team members on sophisticated, high-stakes restructuring, insolvency, and litigation matters.
• Take an active role in developing case strategy, communicating with clients, and driving outcomes—not just executing tasks.
• Have responsibility for investigating claims and identifying supporting documents, preparing and arguing discovery and case-dispositive motions, taking and defending depositions, working directly with expert witnesses, and preparing for and taking cases to trial as part of trial teams.
• Be part of a collaborative legal team that values preparation, thoughtful advocacy, and business-minded lawyering.

Qualifications

• 5–7 years of experience in restructuring/reorganization and/or complex commercial litigation.
• Bankruptcy/reorganization experience strongly preferred. If not, you must have a demonstrated understanding and genuine interest in learning.
• Proven research, writing, and oral advocacy skills, with readiness to appear in court, handle contested hearings, and participate in depositions and trial prep.
• Licensed to practice in Florida.
• Able to manage a varied caseload, prioritize independently, and perform under pressure and deadlines without constant supervision.
• Organized, detail-focused, and self-directed—responsibility is given to those who earn it.
