Litigation Associate

Litigation Associate (Insurance Defense) Orlando, Florida $90,000-$120,000

Most associates don’t leave because of the work.

They leave because no one ever really showed them how to do it properly.

You get given files. You figure it out. Maybe someone checks in. Maybe they don’t. You improve… but slowly. Usually by fixing your own mistakes.

This is a bit different.

You’ll still have responsibility. You’ll still run files. But you won’t be left guessing whether you’re doing it right.

There’s actual guidance here. Not constant hand holding. Just the kind of input that makes you better, faster.

The role

You’ll be working across a mix of insurance defense matters.

Bodily injury

Property

Some general liability work

You’ll get exposure to depositions, motion work, hearings. Not just stuck drafting all day.

And when things get busy, people don’t disappear. They help.

Sounds small. It isn’t.

What’s on offer

Salary between $90,000-$120,000

Billables that are realistic and actually achievable

Hybrid working. Three days in, two from home

Partners who review your work and explain things, not just send it back

A team that remembers what it was like to be an associate

What they’re looking for

2 to 4 years of litigation experience

Some exposure to insurance defense helps, not essential

Someone who wants to improve, not just get through the day

Comfortable speaking to clients and taking ownership

This isn’t the place where you fake it and hope no one notices.

It’s the place where you actually get good.

That usually leads to better options later. Or you just stay because it’s working.
