Foley & Lardner LLP is seeking two attorneys with 2 to 5 years of litigation experience to join the Litigation Department in our Tampa office as staff attorneys. These are full time, non-partner track positions supporting our Construction Practice Group. The attorneys in these positions will be responsible for a high volume of matters and must be confident in their autonomy. Many of the cases proceed in arbitration rather than in circuit court, so the positions require individuals who are self-motivated and stay focused in the office setting.
Our ideal candidates will have very strong legal research and writing skills and will have conducted discovery, drafted motions, argued one or more motions in court, have some deposition experience, and some trial experience. Experience in mediation, arbitration, and litigation of insurance claims, construction and design defect claims, and related matters is strongly preferred. Proven track record in settling cases.
Strong organizational and time management skills required. Prior experience managing a team of paralegals and support staff preferred.
We are seeking highly motivated attorneys, who are eager to learn and gain valuable experience while supporting attorneys in our Tampa office.
To be considered, candidates must hold a JD from an ABA-approved law school and be in good standing and an active member of the Florida Bar. Current judicial clerks need to apply directly and may not be submitted by a legal recruiter.
Interested applicants should visit our Career Center to submit a resume, law school transcript, and a writing sample.
