Job Description

Insurance Defense Attorney | Miami, FL (Hybrid) – $200K–$250K

Location/Schedule: Miami, FL (Hybrid)

Base Salary: $200K–$250K, depending on years

Practice: Florida high-exposure casualty, construction, products, and catastrophic-loss defense for national carriers and corporate insureds.

Our client is an AV-rated national defense firm with a Brickell office. Miami handles the same high-value book as New York — construction accidents, products, transportation, and catastrophe files — at a charge-out rate that supports $200K–$250K. This is not a South Florida volume auto shop. The firm has been hiring out of AmLaw and global defense firms.

Why You Should Join:

• $200K–$250K in Miami Defense – Above what most Florida insurance shops pay, because the files and the rate are not local-market GL.
• Catastrophe and Construction, Not Auto Volume – National trial and catastrophic-loss work out of Brickell, including multi-plaintiff and construction accidents.
• Same Platform as the New York Office – Fortune 500 and major carrier files, staffed in Miami rather than sent north.
• Laterals From Bigger Defense Brands – The firm is pulling people from AmLaw and global shops on pay and file quality.
• Hybrid Brickell, National Docket – Florida courts, with California and New York resources when a file crosses states.

What You’ll Actually Do:

• Defend construction, products, transportation, and high-exposure casualty claims in Florida state and federal court.
• Work catastrophic-loss investigations from the scene through expert depositions.
• Draft motions and prepare cases for mediation and trial.
• Report to national carriers on exposure, not just local claimants.

Requirements:

• JD and active Florida bar
• 2–10 years post-bar insurance defense or complex civil litigation - current Associate, Counsel, or Partner
• Deposition experience on casualty, construction, or products files

No one fits every box perfectly - if you’re a practicing Insurance Defense attorney who wants Miami pay at $200K–$250K on serious files, let’s talk confidentially.
