Litigation Associate

Personal Injury Litigation Associate | Tampa, FL | $120,000 to $160,000 DOE There's a specific moment most PI associates hit. You're three or four years in, you're carrying real cases, and you're still just a name on someone else's file, doing the work but never quite trusted with the relationship. That's usually the point people start wondering whether the next firm might actually see them as a future partner instead of a permanent case handler. I'm working with a well established Tampa firm that built its reputation on exactly that shift. They treat associates like people they're investing in, not just billable hours with a bar number attached. A few things that make this one worth a real conversation: Genuine mentorship from partners who still remember being three years in themselves A culture built around people staying, not churning through associates every eighteen months Full personal injury litigation caseload from day one, real files with real responsibility Room to grow into more autonomy as you prove yourself, not artificial ceilings that never move Hybrid flexibility once you've settled in and found your rhythm on caseload What they're looking for: 3 or more years of personal injury litigation experience A billable target of around 2,000 hours annually, so you know exactly what's expected before you walk in the door Someone who wants to build a career here, not just log time and move on Comfortable owning files and client relationships, not just supporting someone else's Salary sits between $120,000 and $160,000 depending on your experience level, with real room to grow beyond that once you've proven yourself. If you're at a firm where you feel more like inventory than an investment, this might be worth twenty minutes of your time. #J-18808-Ljbffr
