A bit about us:

Our client is an established, full service law firm based in Central Florida, with more than 35 attorneys across a broad range of disciplines. The firm advises entrepreneurs, closely held businesses, middle market companies, investment funds, financial institutions, and publicly traded organizations. It also serves individuals and families on wealth planning matters.

Attorneys here are known for pairing deep local knowledge with the capability to manage sophisticated, high stakes matters. The firm’s work is built around understanding what each client is trying to accomplish commercially, then shaping legal strategy to support it. Individual attorneys are regularly recognized in leading peer reviewed and industry rankings, which reflects both the bench strength and the pipeline of rising talent.

Why join us?

Meaningful work from the start. You will take a real role in disputes involving business owners, lenders, and corporate clients, with substantive responsibility rather than a supporting role on the margins.

Big firm caliber matters with a personal touch. Clients describe the experience as sophisticated resources delivered with real attention. You will work in a setting where partners know your name and your work.

Direct access to experienced litigators. Collaborate closely with seasoned trial lawyers and learn from them as you build your own book of client relationships.

Cross practice exposure. Because the firm also handles corporate, finance, bankruptcy, employment, and real estate related work, your litigation docket can draw on a wide mix
of industries and fact patterns.

A visible path forward. For a mid level associate, this is a place to grow into greater client ownership, courtroom time, and leadership.

A respected, stable platform. Join a long standing firm with a strong reputation in the Central Florida market and a culture that values service, collaboration, and community involvement.
