Litigation Associate | Tampa, FL | $125,000 to $180,000 | Construction Defect
It's 8:15 on a Thursday. You're on a condo pool deck with an engineer, a property manager and four other defense lawyers, all staring at the same crack in the same slab. Everyone has a theory. Only one of them will hold up at mediation.
If that sounds like a good morning at work, read on.
I'm Ryan Jaiswal at Distinct Recruitment. I'm hiring a construction defect defense associate in Tampa for an insurance defense firm that takes this practice seriously. Serious enough to staff files properly, and serious enough to train the people working them.
The docket
• Construction defect defense for contractors, subcontractors and design professionals
• Residential and commercial projects: condos, multifamily, mixed use
• Multiparty litigation: cross claims, tenders, expert coordination, site inspections
• Depositions, mediations and hearings, with trial work as you progress
The deal
• Hybrid to start, working from the Tampa office part of the week, with the option to go fully remote once you're settled in
• 1,900 billable hours
• $125,000 to $180,000. It's broad on purpose, so a strong 2nd year and a seasoned counsel level lawyer both fit
• Florida Bar required
What you need
• 2+ years of construction defect defense. This is a specialist seat. If you haven't handled CD files, this one isn't the right fit
• Comfort reading plans, expert reports and scopes of work
• An instinct for keeping a file with a dozen parties moving
Why move
Construction defect rewards lawyers who stay long enough to get very good at it. You'll get partners who explain the why behind strategy, not just the what. Your caseload is built so you have time to think. Good CD lawyers become the person carriers ask for by name. This is a place to become that lawyer.
