Litigation Partner, General Liability Defense

Litigation Partner, General Liability Defense | Fort Lauderdale, FL | $200,000+ | General Liability Defense

What would you do with a partner role that came with proper support behind it?

Most experienced defense lawyers I speak to have a clear answer. Try more cases. Mentor a strong team. Spend time with clients instead of chasing paperwork. Build something that carries their name.

I’m Ryan Jaiswal at Distinct Recruitment, and I’m hiring a Litigation Partner for a general liability defense practice in Fort Lauderdale where that answer is the job description.

• First chair trial work on the significant cases

• Strategic oversight of a team of associates and attorneys

• Carrier, TPA and corporate client relationships

• Business development, with the firm’s backing

Your background

• Florida Bar license in good standing

• Substantial insurance defense trial experience

• A portable book of business is preferred but not required. Partners with strong client relationships or a strong trial record are encouraged to talk to me either way

• A real interest in developing other lawyers

Why Broward, why now

Fort Lauderdale is one of the busiest general liability venues in Florida, with a constant flow of premises and negligent security claims and juries that take the work seriously. For a partner, that means cases worth trying and clients who need experienced judgment.

The firm wants a partner who leads: sets strategy, trains the team and builds the client base. In return, you get the support to actually do it.

Compensation

• $200,000+

• Negotiable with a book, depending on what you bring
