SKS LEGAL GROUP, a growing boutique law firm with offices in Coral Gables and Ft. Lauderdale, is looking to hire an Associate Litigation Attorney for its Coral Gables office. SKS represents both plaintiffs and defendants in construction cases, as well as commercial, condominium and real estate litigation/arbitration matters, and also serves as general counsel providing day-to-day legal consulting and contract services to numerous construction-industry clients, condominium associations and commercial businesses, primarily in South Florida.
Compensation is on a salary basis commensurate with experience, skill and production. The sky is the limit for a motivated attorney at SKS because the firm promotes growth from within by paying commissions on a percentage basis to attorneys that generate new clients for the firm. SKS is looking for an attorney seeking a long-term position and not a candidate who jumps from job to job.
In comparison to what you would typically expect of any larger firm in the Miami area, the position offered is more flexible in terms of schedule, vacation, dress code, billable hour requirement, etc. Long hours and weekend work is not required.
The firm seeks a candidate meeting the following criteria:
1) candidates must be licensed to practice law in the State of Florida;
2) candidates should have 1-7 years of experience - in the fields of construction litigation, commercial litigation, business litigation, condominium/HOA law, insurance defense, or other civil litigation;
3) candidates must be capable of, and willing to, attend hearings, take depositions, draft motions, conduct research, draft contracts, communicate with clients, manage discovery, handle administrative functions incidental to litigation matters such as electronically filing pleadings, scheduling, calendaring and similar;
4) candidates should be organized, prepared, responsive, efficient and motivated.
