Ascension Global Staffing & Executive Search is seeking an associate with 4-5 years of business litigation experience to join the Commercial Litigation Practice Group in our client's Miami office. Law-clerk experience in a federal-court clerkship is a plus, but not required. Qualified candidate must be a persuasive legal writer and oral advocate and will have substantial experience with complex business litigation matters in state and federal courts, including conducting and managing written and document discovery, researching and drafting pleadings, motions and other court filings, conducting/defending depositions, preparing witnesses for testimony, appearing for status conferences, and arguing motions in both state and federal court. Participation in settlement conferences and negotiations and experience with trial preparation is preferred. The ideal candidate will have a positive attitude, strong interpersonal skills, an exceptional work ethic, and must be comfortable having direct interaction with partners and clients. Fluency in Spanish and English, both in written and verbal communications – including with legal documents, is strongly preferred.
We are seeking a well-rounded, dynamic, highly motivated lawyer, who has demonstrated an ability to thrive in a sophisticated practice in a busy, collaborative environment, to assist with advancing the long-term strategic objectives of our Litigation Department. We value collegiality, creativity, and intellectual curiosity among our lawyers and seek to make the practice both professionally and personally rewarding. To be considered, candidates must hold a JD from an ABA-approved law school and must be in good standing and an active member of the Florida Bar. Timely admission to the Florida Bar will be a condition of employment. Interested applicants should submit resume, law school transcript, and writing sample. Current judicial clerks need to apply directly and may not be submitted by a legal recruiter. In support of transparency and equity in the workplace, Foley provides salary ranges for all positions. The expected salary range for this position is between $290,000-$310,000.
