    Description

    Position: Litigation Associate (4–6 Years)

    Location: Coral Gables, Florida (Hybrid: 3–4 days in office)

    Firm Size: 13 Attorneys

    Overview:

    We are a Coral Gables–based business and commercial litigation firm seeking a 4–6 year litigation associate with meaningful, hands-on civil litigation experience. This is not an entry-level training role. We are looking for an attorney who has already taken substantial ownership of cases and can operate independently in day-to-day litigation with partner oversight on overall strategy.

    The ideal candidate has real courtroom and case-handling experience: taking and defending depositions, drafting and arguing motions, managing discovery, and appearing at hearings without supervision. While our practice focuses on business and commercial disputes, candidates do not need prior commercial litigation experience; strong civil litigation experience is sufficient.

    Responsibilities:

    • Serve as primary associate on litigation matters with partner oversight on strategy
    • Independently manage day-to-day litigation tasks from case inception through resolution
    • Draft pleadings, motions, and discovery requests and responses
    • Take and defend depositions
    • Prepare for and argue hearings in state and federal court
    • Draft and argue motions, including motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment
    • Manage written discovery and discovery disputes
    • Draft and oversee third-party subpoenas
    • Coordinate with clients, experts, and opposing counsel
    • Maintain organization and readiness across multiple active cases

    Required Experience and Qualifications:

    Candidates must meet the following baseline experience thresholds:

    • 4–6 years of civil litigation experience
    • Active member in good standing of the Florida Bar
    • Minimum of 20 depositions taken and/or defended
    • Experience independently arguing hearings, including at least 10 special set hearings
    • Experience drafting and arguing your own motions
    • Experience managing cases independently with partner or senior attorney oversight on overall strategy
    • Ability to independently handle:
    • pleadings
    • discovery
    • depositions
    • motion practice
    • court appearances

    Our Culture:

    At AC Law, our firm culture is a cornerstone of everything we do. We've intentionally built an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and focused on professional growth, applying business principles to create systems and practices that work for both clients and our team. We prioritize respect, accountability, and open communication so that every attorney can focus on delivering excellent results while continuing to grow. Joining AC Law means becoming part of a team where your contributions are valued, your development is prioritized, and the work environment is designed to be inspiring and sustainable.

    How to Apply:

    Applicants should submit a resume and a brief cover letter that includes:

    • Approximate number of depositions taken and defended
    • Number of special set hearings argued
    • Number of evidentiary hearings argued
    • Number of trials as first- or second-chair
