Construction Defect Attorney

You didn't go to law school to spend your career chasing a billable number that was never realistic to begin with. If you're currently sat somewhere pretending 2200 hours is sustainable, or watching partners promise "it'll ease up next quarter" for the third year running, this one's worth a read. I'm working with an established defense firm in Boca Raton that's built its construction defect practice on a simple idea. Good lawyers do better work when they're not running on empty. Their billable target sits at 1900, which is meaningfully lower than most of the market, and it's not a headline number that quietly balloons once you're through the door. The work: Handling construction defect defense from early investigation through resolution Working construction defect matters exclusively, so you're building real depth instead of splitting focus across unrelated case types Working directly with experienced partners rather than being buried under a chain of associates Real case ownership, not just document review while someone else takes the depositions Why lawyers are making the move: 1900 billable hours, and they mean it Hybrid working once you're settled in, with the flexibility to move toward fully remote down the line as you build trust with the team A firm that's grown by keeping people rather than churning through them Genuine mentorship from partners who still remember what it was like as a mid level associate Boca offices without the Miami commute or the Miami traffic What they're looking for Licensed to practice in Florida Experience in construction defect defense specifically, whether that's first party, third party, or both Comfortable taking a case from intake through to resolution with real autonomy Someone who wants to build genuine expertise in this niche rather than treat it as a stepping stone If the idea of a realistic hours target and a team that actually backs you sounds like a change worth making, I'd like to hear from you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
