Civil litigation associate attorney position in Fort Lauderdale. Courtroom hearing experience required. Full-time, in-office.
The Elliot Legal Group, P.A. is opening a search for an Associate Attorney to join us full-time at our Fort Lauderdale office. This is not a remote or hybrid role, and it is not an entry-level one. We are looking for an attorney who can pick up a caseload, appear at hearings independently, and start contributing right away.
You will handle civil litigation matters from intake through resolution — appearing at hearings, arguing motions and evidentiary matters independently, and working directly with clients across business, real estate, and commercial disputes. Drafting is a core part of the job: complaints, motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment and other dispositive and non-dispositive motions, discovery requests and responses, and opposition briefs all come through this seat regularly, not occasionally.
The position carries an annual billable hours requirement of 1,600 hours and is based full-time at our Fort Lauderdale office, with regular travel to hearings throughout South Florida, including Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties.
Direct access to the managing attorney and hands-on guidance from day one.
Clear milestones toward partnership and practice leadership.
A culture that respects your time and supports balance.
You will need the following:
A cover letter is welcome but not required. We read every application. All inquiries are treated confidentially. We will not contact a current employer without your permission.
