What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Defect Attorney position at Distinct Recruitment?
Construction Defect Attorney | Jacksonville | $120,000 to $200,000
Some attorneys avoid construction defect work because the files are heavy and the facts never sit still. Others read those same files and feel right at home. If you are the second type, this is worth five minutes of your time.
A Jacksonville litigation team is looking for an attorney who already knows this world. Property damage, contractors, subcontractors, expert reports, the kind of detail that only clicks once you have lived in it for a while. This is not a training ground. You come in knowing the difference between a good expert report and a weak one.
The setup here is built around getting the work done properly rather than watching the clock for its own sake. The billable target sits at 1,900 hours, which is realistic rather than aspirational. Hybrid working is already the norm, and the firm is actively moving towards more remote flexibility over time. If you would rather be in the office most days, that works too. Nobody is forcing a setup on you that does not fit how you work best.
What's on offer
- Salary from $120,000 to $200,000
- Billable target of 1,900 hours
- Hybrid working now, with more remote flexibility on the way
- Office based working equally welcomed if that suits you better
- Consistent flow of construction defect and construction litigation matters
- Real ownership of files rather than a supporting role
- Direct partner access and client contact
- A genuine opportunity to build a name in a specialist niche
What they're looking for
- Florida Bar admission
- 2 years of experience in construction defect or construction litigation, ideally
- Comfortable handling discovery, experts, depositions, reports, mediation, or hearings
- Someone who brings order to complex facts instead of getting buried by them
If this sounds like a good fit, apply and I will be in touch. If you would rather talk it through first and keep it confidential, call me directly on 1 786 891 0610 or connect with me on LinkedIn.
