Job Information

This Senior Attorney role encompasses Company/Commercial/Corporate Law and General Litigation.

A significant opportunity for a Designate Partner is available.

The position is based in the desirable Hollywood Beach, Florida, USA.

Join a pioneering New Law Firm.

We are open to both US & UK candidates, offering sponsorship for Visa application and Florida Bar Membership studies.

We are working in connection with: www.florida-legal-recruitment.com

Our client is establishing a new law firm and is seeking to appoint a highly capable corporate services attorney who can also serve as a versatile litigator for contentious matters. We are actively looking for a candidate who will become a future Member of the Florida Bar, with Visa application and Bar Membership studies fully sponsored.

You may be wondering why our Canadian law firm client is open to UK applications. While the market rate for a local US attorney with comparable qualifications and work skills can exceed $US 180K, we have identified that a 3-6 PQE candidate from the UK can be recruited for approximately 40K sterling. We understand that the process of preparing for Florida Bar membership will be an immense task, and the visa application rigorous; however, the long-term career and financial upside are truly exceptional.

If you are seeking a refreshing change from the complexities and politics often associated with large law firm environments, and are considering relocating to Florida, this presents a compelling opportunity. The new US law firm will serve a diverse client base, including: Small to medium-sized corporations, property companies, property developers, owner-managed businesses, housing associations, charities, franchises, landowners, bio-agricultural businesses, scientific and manufacturing enterprises, shipping and fishing companies, multi-site retail chains, supermarket chains, retail shops, shopping malls, local authorities, and High Net Worth (HNW) private individuals.

Our philosophy acknowledges that the most effective resolution for business or personal disputes is not always found through litigation. By fostering trusting partnerships with our valued corporate and private clients, we aim to achieve the most commercially astute, financially sound, and mutually agreeable outcomes.

Our client champions a comprehensive approach to dispute resolution, valuing all associated legal solutions, including adjudication, arbitration, litigation, and mediation. We believe that effectively resolving business or personal disputes begins with a thorough understanding gained through incisive questioning during the initial consultation.

Once instructed, our client conducts meticulous individual case analysis, develops tailored legal strategies, and performs intricate financial risk assessments. Clients are then presented with a comprehensive choice of options, carefully considered to lead to the most successful and agreeable outcome.
