What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Attorney – Insurance Defense, Business & Commercial Litigation (3–5 Years Experience) position at HD Law Partners?
HD Law Partners is seeking a talented Associate Attorney with 3–5 years of litigation experience to join our growing Tampa practice. This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who wants to build a long-term career with a firm expanding its presence in insurance defense while also developing a broader business and commercial litigation practice.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in carrier-side insurance defense, with experience representing insurance companies in litigation. Candidates with prior experience as a staff counsel attorney or insurance claims adjuster are highly valued, as they bring a unique understanding of carrier expectations and client service.
While insurance defense experience is a priority, we are looking for attorneys with a well-rounded litigation background who are interested in expanding their practice. Experience in any of the following is highly desirable:
Insurance defense (carrier-side preferred)
- Construction litigation
- Commercial litigation
- General civil litigation
- Business litigation
We are seeking someone who enjoys practicing law beyond a single niche and is motivated to grow alongside a firm with a diverse and expanding litigation practice.
Why Join Our Firm?
This is an opportunity to build your reputation within a dedicated insurance defense platform while gaining exposure to sophisticated commercial and construction litigation matters.
Unlike many firms where insurance defense is simply one practice area, we are intentionally investing in a recognizable carrier-defense brand that allows attorneys to develop meaningful client relationships, strengthen their professional profile, and grow with the practice.
You’ll work directly with experienced litigators who value responsiveness, strategic thinking, and practical solutions for clients.

- Licensed to practice law in Florida
- 3–5 years of litigation experience
- Carrier-side insurance defense experience strongly preferred
- Prior staff counsel or insurance claims experience is a plus
