We're one of the 200 largest law firms in the country, and we're looking for a sharp, driven attorney to join our Sarasota litigation team and hit the ground running.

Why join us?

From day one, you'll be in the mix - crafting case strategy, arguing in court, taking depositions, and working directly with clients. You'll be backed by an exceptional paralegal and staff infrastructure specifically designed to free attorneys up to do what they do best: litigate. And you'll do it alongside experienced attorneys who are genuinely invested in your growth.

We've built something rare in the legal world - a culture of true camaraderie. Associates here don't just survive; they develop into exceptional trial lawyers and build careers that last.
